Nils Christie's (1986) seminal work on the 'Ideal Victim' is
reproduced in full in this edited collection of vibrant and
provocative essays that respond to and update the concept from a
range of thematic positions. Each chapter celebrates and
commemorates his work by analysing, evaluating and critiquing the
current nature and impact of victim identity, experience, policy
and practice. The collection expands the focus and remit of 'victim
studies', addressing key themes around race, gender, faith, ability
and age while encompassing new and diverse issues. Examples include
sex workers as victims of hate crimes, victims' experiences of
online fraud, and recognising historic child sexual abuse victims
in Ireland. With contributions from an array of academics including
Vicky Heap (Sheffield Hallam University), Hannah Mason-Bish
(University of Sussex) and Pamela Davies (Northumbria University),
as well as a Foreword by David Scott (The Open University), this
book evaluates the contemporary relevance and applicability of
Christie's 'Ideal Victim' concept and creates an important platform
for thinking differently about victimhood in the 21st century.
