Victims of crime are now the subjects of intense policy attention
and reform across most developed nations, whilst also receiving
sustained attention at the highest levels of the United Nations,
the Council of Europe, and many other transnational organizations.
Such moves have been fostered by the continued development of the
international victims' movement and driven by a host of complex and
interacting drivers which span jurisdictions. This volume sets out
to contrast and compare the development of policies related to
victims of crime and their place within the criminal justice
systems in nine separate jurisdictions (the USA, the Netherlands,
England and Wales, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland, Australia,
New Zealand, Canada and South Africa). Based on first hand
interviews with those responsible for formulating such policies, as
well as detailed grounded and document analysis across these
jurisdictions, this book exposes the national and transnational
policy networks surrounding victims of crime and, in particular,
examines how the provision of victim care is becoming globalized.
In so doing, it represents a rare comparative evaluation of the
underlying rationales and influences which have influenced the
creation of such policies and places them in their true global
context.
