Interest in victims of crime - victimology - has always spanned both the scholarly and practical realms. This volume combines a collection of essays covering the diversity of approaches towards victimology, from the conceptual to the practical, including evaluation and scrutiny of the basis on which we do justice. The volume is divided into four sections; the first part discusses the nature of victimisation and concepts of the nature of victimhood; the second part looks at the effects of victimisation and some of the ways in which victim support and assistance have developed, and the views of victims on these. The third part considers the role that victims play in criminal justice and their reactions to those roles. Finally, the book looks at responses to victimisation - including attempts to provide acknowledgement, reparation and compensation - within the framework of criminal justice.  Much of the research literature on victimology has previously stemmed from Europe and North America, and has been influenced by an Anglo-American common law legal system and views of criminal justice whereas this collection incorporates different legal systems’ perspectives, particularly those of mainland Europe. This book will serve as an important predicate to wider research in victimology and further development of this dynamic field.

A barrister needs to know how to conduct a criminal case. It is not just a matter of being conversant with law and procedure. He or she must be able to deal with an actual case in practice. Recognizing this basic necessity, this manual offers practical guidance on how to carry out actualtasks. The first part of the manual follows the stages that a typical criminal case would pass through, starting with the magistrates' court and moving on to the Crown Court, dealing with the various avenues for appeal. In each area, the main principles are clearly set out, with an explanation andreferences to statutes and cases where appropriate. Guidance is also given at various points where further research may be needed for a particular case. The second part deals with the sentencing, which is now an integral part of criminal litigation. This text looks not only at the maximum penalties which the court can impose, but also deals with the process of sentencing, including the procedure following conviction, the rrange of sentencesavailable and the factors likely to influence the sentence which is actually passed. In this way, it provides guidance for tasks which the barrister has to carry out, such as the advice on sentence and the plea in mitigation. This edition deals with the changes brought about by the Youth Justiceand Criminal Evidence Act 1999, the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Crime (Sentences) Act 1997.

Restorative Justice in Practice: Evaluating What Works for Victims and Offenders

Restorative justice has made significant progress in recent years and now plays an increasingly important role in and alongside the criminal justice systems of a number of countries in different parts of the world. In many cases, however, successes and failures, strengths and weaknesses have not been evaluated sufficiently systematically and comprehensively, and it has been difficult to gain an accurate picture of its implementation and the lessons to be drawn from this.Restorative Justice in Practice addresses this need, analyzing the results of the implementation of three restorative justice schemes in England and Wales in the largest and most complete trial of restorative justice with adult offenders worldwide. It aims to bring out the practicalities of setting up and running restorative justice schemes in connection with criminal justice, the costs of doing so and the key professional and ethical issues involved.At the same time the book situates these findings within the growing international academic and policy debates about restorative justice, addressing a number of key issues for criminal justice and penology, including:   how far victim expectations of justice are and can be met by restorative justice aligned with criminal justice whether ‘community’ is involved in restorative justice for adult offenders and how this relates to social capital how far restorative justice events relate to processes of desistance (giving up crime), promote reductions in reoffending and link to resettlement what stages of criminal justice may be most suitable for restorative justice and how this relates to victim and offender needs the usefulness of conferencing and mediation as forms of restorative justice with adults.  Restorative Justice in Practice will be essential reading for both students and practitioners, and a key contribution to the restorative justice debate.
