More should be done to support the mental health needs of victims of violence, new guidance by a health expert has said.
Professor Jonathan Shepherd from Cardiff University said victims of crime are at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression and substance misuse.
The guidance was published by the Royal College of Psychiatrists on Wednesday.
It has been backed by the Victim Support charity, according to BBC News.
