Zusammenfassung:The status of the victim within the criminal justice system has recently become a controversial issue. In this comprehensive and timely text, the authors combine their extensive experience of the victims' movement to provide a theoretical and practical critique of the subject
Drawing on a wealth of local, national and international sources, unpublished documents and original research, the book outlines and discusses the issues facing victims today. The authors address the fundamental question: how can we best ensure justice for victims, while at the same time preserving the rights of defendants
The search for answers raises other key questions: what are the risks of crime - do they vary from country to country?; what is the impact of crime on the victim?; how are victims treated by police, welfare agencies and courts?; why have governments become interested in victims?; can we learn from the experiences of policies in other nations?; and how are services developing in the rest of the world, including Eastern Europe
