The source disciplines of victimology are social and clinical
psychology on the one hand and criminology and the law on the
other. In the criminal justice system, research on victims suffers
from the fact that the law-related and psychology-related
disciplines are barely on speaking terms with each other.
Attempting to overcome this victimological divide is a common theme
of the nine articles in The Cross-over. In this thesis, the subject
matter is diverse. A number of the articles discuss restorative
justice procedures like victim-offender mediation. The book also
includes an analysis of different interest groups representing
victims, the controversies in implementing victim impact
statements, and even an article focusing on victims' reactions to
terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda. The book offers a fresh and
insightful view of victims of crime and their interaction with the
criminal justice procedure. Thesis.
