(a)
persons with regard to whom there are serious grounds for believing that they have committed or are about to commit a criminal offence;
(b)
persons convicted of a criminal offence;
(c)
victims of a criminal offence or persons with regard to whom certain facts give rise to reasons for believing that they could be the victim of a criminal offence; and
(d)
other parties to a criminal offence, such as persons who might be called upon to testify in investigations in connection with criminal offences or subsequent criminal proceedings, persons who can provide information on criminal offences, or contacts or associates of one of the persons referred to in points (a) and (b).
