Title: Victims of crime
First published: 2009
Description: "This book examines the practical outcomes of a reform agenda and assesses the meaning, implications and impact of the government's pledge to put victims 'at the heart' of the criminal justice system." "The book provides a systematic analysis of the occupational cultures of criminal justice practitioners when dealing with domestic violence and sex crime, and is concerned throughout to place the development of victim-related policy-making into its wider international and societal context. It will be essential reading for anybody with an interest in the increasingly central role of victims within the criminal justice system."--BOOK JACKET.
