Victims of Crime

More about the book

The book explores the evolution of victim support policies in England and Wales, particularly since the 2010 election of the Conservative/Liberal Democrat Coalition Government. It highlights how victimization has gained cultural significance due to issues like terrorism and child sexual exploitation. Employing cultural victimology, governance theory, and legal scholarship, the author examines the influences and effects of victim policy in contemporary society. This study is particularly relevant for victimology scholars, criminal justice experts, activists, and policymakers.
