Dr Brian Williams was Professor of Community Justice and Victimology at De Montfort University in Leicester. He served on the Executive of the British Society of Criminology and was a volunteer training officer for a local Victim Support scheme. He published widely on victims of crime, including (as editor) Reparation and Victim-Focussed Social Work.
The rise of victim support; repeated criminal victimization; the needs of victims of crime; the politics of victimization; who helps victims?; the way forward.
The reader is hooked and engrossed in this unique book. It is very well written and easy to read and covers all aspects of dealing with victims of crime including the policy and the politics in today's climate. The inclusion of case histories in each section brings home to the reader the importance of this subject. The book is well referenced and includes an appendix listing the landmarks in support for victims of crime from 1963 to 1998. And it meets the need for information on dealing with victims of crime. It will be of interest to those who work in the accident and emergency field, social policy and to those who plan and provide services to victims. It will also be of use to those who provide training.
