Interest in victims of crime - victimology - has always spanned
both the scholarly and practical realms. This volume combines a
collection of essays covering the diversity of approaches towards
victimology, from the conceptual to the practical, including
evaluation and scrutiny of the basis on which we do justice. The
volume is divided into four sections; the first part discusses the
nature of victimisation and concepts of the nature of victimhood;
the second part looks at the effects of victimisation and some of
the ways in which victim support and assistance have developed, and
the views of victims on these. The third part considers the role
that victims play in criminal justice and their reactions to those
roles. Finally, the book looks at responses to victimisation -
including attempts to provide acknowledgement, reparation and
compensation - within the framework of criminal justice. Much of
the research literature on victimology has previously stemmed from
Europe and North America, and has been influenced by an
Anglo-American common law legal system and views of criminal
justice whereas this collection incorporates different legal
systems' perspectives, particularly those of mainland Europe. This
book will serve as an important predicate to wider research in
victimology and further development of this dynamic field.
