5. Victims, survivors and victimology
- Katherine S. WilliamsKatherine S. WilliamsLecturer in Law, University of Wales, Aberystwyth
Abstract
Course-focused and comprehensive, the Textbook on series provides an accessible overview of the key areas on the law curriculum. This chapter examines the victims of crime; the effects on victims; and the issue of ‘blaming’ victims for their own victimisation. It also considers whether criminology and criminal law processes are sufficiently concerned with the victim.
