Victims of Crime

By Matthew Hall

Book Overview

Victims of crime have become of increasing media interest and governmental concern over the past 30 years. This book delves into the policy-making process behind these reforms, based on interviews conducted at key government departments, and offers a model for what a genuinely 'victim centred' criminal justice system might look like in the twenty-first century, drawing on the psychological and sociological literature on narrative responses to traumatic events.
