Who is the Victims & Witnesses poster for?
Victims & Witnesses belongs to the Law section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning criminal law can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Victims & Witnesses poster?
The state prosecutes; the victim is a witness, not the claimant. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Victims & Witnesses belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
What other posters go with Victims & Witnesses?
The Elements of an Offence, Corporate Liability and Defences sit alongside Victims & Witnesses in the Law section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.The Elements of an OffenceCorporate LiabilityDefences
Is the Victims & Witnesses poster free to download and print?

What size does the Victims & Witnesses poster print at?
Victims & Witnesses is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Victims & Witnesses loses nothing.Printing guide
