Richard Wright analyzes the current state of violence in America,
the criminal justice system’s response, and the experiences of
survivors in the aftermath of a violent crime. Despite decades of
advocacy, change, and research, our policy responses embedded with
historic and systemic values which rank victims and survivors not
based on their trauma and loss, but by race, social status, gender,
location, and age, remain quite flawed. Keeping the big picture in
mind, Wright analyzes the unintended consequences of current,
well-meaning policies, critiques the victim hierarchy, and sheds
light on why American responses to the needs of violent crime
victims have accrued a more failures than successes.
