This book examines the evolution of Government policies toward victims of crime in the United Kingdom, and follows the author's View from the Shadows , which detailed official responses to the victims' movement in Canada. It attempts a fourfold task: to show how central institutions fostered what the Home Office came to regard as significant policies for victims of crime in England and Wales; to use those examples of policy-making to scout the topography of the criminal justice system; to make comparisons between the system and its Canadian counterpart; and, above all, to give the origins and early history of the National Association of Victims Support schemes. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of sociology, criminology, social behavior, social institutions and social administration.
