Why do some friendships last a lifetime, while others fade away?
How do you break up with a friend? How many 'best' friends should
we be aiming for? From the time we start school, we are fed a diet
of 'Best Friends Forever' - the idea that you should have a female
soulmate to whom you tell all your secrets and who always has your
back. It's the stuff of Hollywood films, but for most of us it
isn't achievable. We spend years striving for a vision of female
friendship that isn't realistic instead of searching for what suits
us best or appreciating what we've already got. BFF? is an
agenda-setting, personal and humorous book that pulls back the
cover on the most underappreciated relationships in our lives to
interrogate what modern friendship means, why we need it and what
we can do to get the most from it. Featuring interviews with
brilliant women, including Emma Barnett, Pandora Sykes, Nimco Ali
and Jilly Cooper - as well as the intimate friendship stories of
women from all walks of life - Claire Cohen argues that, unlike
romance, friendship is much harder to pin down and. And it shows
how often our friendships are taken for granted. An antidote to the
idea that every woman must belong to a perfect girl gang, this book
is a warm and reassuring guide to help women deepen their female
friendships in ways that are meaningful and enduring.
_________________________________ 'It took me until my thirties to
feel truly secure in my friendships - my female ones in particular.
I truly believe that if I'd had a book like this when I was
younger, it would have fallen into place sooner. That I'd have been
happier, more trusting and able to deal with any bumps in the road.
That's why I want us all to start telling the truth about female
friendship. Because if I - raised in a house full of women, the
product of two all-girls schools and the women's editor of a
national newspaper - found it hard to trust, open up and had
convinced myself that female friends 'weren't for me', then you
might not have it worked out either.'

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.
