Conceptualising Victims 2. Victims as Vote Winners 3. Prioritized Political Focus: ASB and Hate Crime 4. Reconceptualising VictimsReviewsThis 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 Author InformationMarian Duggan is Senior Lecturer in Criminology at Sheffield Hallam University, UK.
