Product Description
Product Description
Based on the author's experience in working with both victims and offenders, this volume provides an objective analysis of developments in the field of victim support and their impact on both policy and practice. The book examines such topics as: who the victims of crime are, and their needs and rights; how professional and voluntary service providers can help recovery; the role of the agencies involved in supporting victims; how the criminal justice system can improve its service to victims; why victim support has become an issue; and how the state has reacted to the growth of victim support agencies. The author looks at the needs and response of victims to particular types of crime, where there is an increasing body of knowledge relating to the range of likely responses. Examples of good practice from the agencies and the views of volunteer workers on improving victim support are also included. The book goes on to explore the politics of victimization, setting this within an international context by comparing models of policy and practice that have been adopted in other countries. Finally, it argues that current victim support could be improved with greater liaison between service providers.
