| Description: | Hearing the Victim brings together leading authorities in the field to review the role of the victim in the criminal justice system in the context of recent legislative developments to 'rebalance the criminal justice system in favour of the victim'. In recent years far more attention has been paid to victims of crime both in terms of awareness of the effect of crime upon their lives, and in changes that have been made to the criminal justice system to improve their rights and treatment. This process seems set to continue, with legislative plans announced to rebalance the criminal justice system in favour of the victim. This latest book in the Cambridge Criminal Justice Series brings together leading authorities in the field to review the role of the victim in the criminal justice system in the context of these developments. |
