Hi All

I didn't know that if you've got a criminal record you might not be able to claim any compensation from the Government if you're the victim of a violent assault. 

Anglia Ruskin just done some research - https://www.anglia.ac.uk/news/rape-victims-being-denied-compensation-study which specifically related to rape victims but the same would no doubt apply if you were a man attacked in the street who had a minor unspent conviction. 

What do others think?
