Description
This study addresses the management of victims and victim policy under the Coalition government, in light of an increasing move towards neoliberal and punitive law and order agendas. With a focus on victims of anti-social behaviour and hate crime, Duggan and Heap explore the changing role of the victim in contemporary criminal justice discourses.
Reviews / Votes
"This is an original and thought-provoking book that casts a much-needed critical gaze over recent developments in criminal justice policy and the 'victim agenda'. Duggan and Heap astutely situate these shifts within a wider criminological framework, and demonstrate their convergence with neoliberal strategies of crime control. A timely study that should be read by all scholars and students of criminology, as well as practitioners, who are interested in the how we treat the victims of crime." - Professor Majid Yar, University of Hull, UK
