Imagining the victim of crime / Sandra Walklate

No review available on this record. Title : Imagining the victim of crime Material Type: printed text Authors: Sandra Walklate, Author Publisher: McGraw Hill /Open University Press (UK) Publication Date: 2007 Pagination: x, 189 p Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-0-335-21727-4 General note: Includes bibliographical references and index Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Victims of crimes Class number: 362.88 Abstract: "Imagining the victim of crime" - This book situates the contemporary preoccupation with criminal victimisation within the broader socio-cultural changes of the last twenty five years. In so doing it addresses not only the policy possibilities that have been generated as a consequence of those changes but also concerns itself with the ability of victimology to help make sense of this change. Written in the post 9/11 context, this book considers the efficacy of theory and policy relating to questions of victimhood to accommodate the current political and cultural climate and offers a critical understanding of both. It adopts an explicitly cross-cultural position on these questions. It will be vital reading for anyone interested in the problems and possibilities posed by criminal victimisation understood in the broadest terms. Contents note: Are we all victims now; Ways of thinking about victims and victimology; Exploring criminal victimization and its impact; Victimization, risk and fear; Responding to victims needs or harnessing victims' rights; Crime, victims and justice; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13505

Title : Victimology : victimisation and victims’ rights Material Type: printed text Authors: Lorraine Wolhuter, Author ; Neil Olley, Author ; David Denham (1944-), Author Publisher: Routledge-Cavendish (London and New York) Publication Date: 2009 Pagination: xviii, 301 p. Size: 24 cm. ISBN (or other code): 978-1-84568-045-9 General note: Includes bibliographical references (p. [270]-291) and index. Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Victims of crimes Victims of crimes - Legal status, laws, etc. - Europe Class number: 362.88 Abstract: The status of victims of crime has altered significantly in the last century. The study of victims has moved from the margins of criminological theory to the discipline of victimology. Crime surveys have extended their remit to include information concerning victims' experiences of the impact of crime and the responses of criminal justice agencies. The role of victims in the criminal justice system has also been reconsidered, as victims have become 'key player[s]' rather than 'forgotten actor[s]' in the criminal process (Zedner, 2002, p. 419). The purpose of this book is to evaluate these changes in the role of victims in the fields of victimology, victimisation studies, and law and criminal justice policy, and to highlight areas in which further changes ought to be considered. This chapter presents a brief timeline of the key developments in the UK that mark the movement of victims from margin to centre. In addition, it provides an overview of the contents of the various chapters of the book.
