"Although the topics dealt with are complex, the author has been
very successful in presenting and exploring them clearly. Students
may find particularly helpful the summary at the end of each
chapter of the main points covered in that section. The Legal
Executive"...the real strength of this book lies in the critical
thinking that arises from the juxtaposition of two very much
unfinished debates: the question of how victims are treated by the
justice system, and the practices and implications of restorative
justice. "...I feel this book is particularly important because it
reframes a whole series of debates and practices which, otherwise,
might be in danger of getting 'stuck'. That this is also undertaken
by someone who is extremely knowledgeable about the subject matter
and perceptive in relation to key issues is an added bonus."
VistaTwo of the principal and most influential developments within
criminal justice policy - taking in a variety of common law
jurisdictions during the past thirty years - have been the rise of
the 'victim movement' and the emergence of a distinctive set of
practices that have become associated with the term 'restorative
justice'. Understanding Victims and Restorative Justice examines
the origins of and the relationship between these two sets of
developments, and seeks to assess their strengths and weaknesses in
meeting the needs of victims as part of the overall response to
crime. Written in a lively and accessible style this book is of
benefit to students from a range of disciplines including
criminology, sociology and the law. Also helpful to professionals,
practitioners and policymakers working in voluntary agencies within
the criminal justice system.
