The study of victims of crime is a central concern for criminologists around the world. In recent years, some victimologists have become increasingly engaged in positivist debates on the differences between victims and non-victims, how these differences can be measured and what could be done to improve the victims'' experience of the criminal justice system. Written by experts in the field, this book embraces a much wider understanding of social harms and asks which victims'' voices are heard and why.
McGarry and Walklate break new ground with this innovative and accessible book; it offers a broad discussion of social harms, the role of the victim in society and the inter-relationship between trauma, testimony and justice and asks:
- how has harm been understood and under what circumstances have those harms been recognised?
- how and under what circumstances are those harms articulated?
- how and under what circumstances are the voices of those who have been harmed listened to?
Each chapter draws on case studies and a range of questions designed to assist in reflection and critical engagement. This book is perfect reading for students taking courses on victimology, victims and society, victims’ rights and criminal justice.
