Description:Crime, Victims and Policy brings together the work of leading international scholars to examine how the experience of victims of crime, and the formulation of policies and theory that impact upon them, are translated and experienced within specific local contexts. The collection examines questions of key concern to scholars interested in the contexts and experiences of 'victims of crime' both within and beyond criminal justice systems.The chapters assembled here cover crucial questions, including the Eurocentric nature of conventional victimological approaches, the limitations of legal definitions of victims, the construction of victim identities, experiences of the criminal justice system, the policy making process and the 'discovery' of new victims. Importantly, a central theme of this collection is how the local contexts of postcolonial societies within the southern hemisphere both reflect and diverge from international developments in victim experience, policy and practice.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
