This book provides a rich analysis of the history of Swedish victim
support. With the majority of research on victim support centering
on the Anglosphere, this book offers a unique case study for
considering the role of the victim in the criminal justice system.
While Sweden has enacted many laws to support victims, and victim
assistance programs have grown rapidly, welfare policy has become
more restrictive and crime policy, to some degree, more punitive.
Drawing on archival material and interviews with key
representatives for the Swedish Association for Victim Support
(BOJ), this book examines what role the victim movement has played
in a changing welfare state. It argues that BOJ filled a function
in the decentralization and privatization of the Swedish welfare
state and explores distinctive features of the Swedish victim
movement and the form it has taken, as compared to that in other
countries. This book will be of interest to scholars and students
of criminology, sociology, social policy, civil society studies,
and social work, and those engaged in studies of victims and
victimology.
