This book explores what victimology, as both an academic discipline
and an activist movement, has achieved since its initial conception
in the 1940s, from a variety of experts' perspectives. Focussing on
nine, dynamic and contemporary case studies covering topics like
violence against women and girls, bereaved family activism, and
environmental victims and climate change activists, each chapter
critically examines how different crime victims have been
politicised and explores the impact of victim-centred reforms upon
criminal justice professional cultures. This book comprehensively
and critically examines the historical, social and political
factors, including the work of activists, that have shaped the
development of theories, policies and reforms in this field,
including how victimhood has come to be understood and responded
to. The chapters also consider the future developments of this
area, including how digital technologies are creating new forms and
experiences of victimisation. Speaking to undergraduates,
postgraduates and professionals in criminal justice and third
sector organisations, this book discusses the links between theory,
policy and professional practice and how they contribute to and
facilitate debates regarding what the role of crime victims is in a
21st century criminal justice system.
