What is CIC?
Compensation for the victims of violent crime...
The CICA is a Government funded body set up in the 1960s to specifically
provide victims of crime with recognition and compensation from
society for any physical or mental injuries resulting from a crime
of violence and in more serious cases for medical expenses, special
