In this book, the authors seek to question if a 'criminology of war' is possible, whilst providing an implicit critique of mainstream criminology. They also examine how this seemingly 'new horizon' of the discipline might be usefully informed by sociology.
This innovative and accessible book breaks new ground by offering a broad discussion of social harms, the role of the victim in society and the inter-relationship between trauma, testimony and justice. It is perfect reading for students taking courses on victimology, victims and society, victims' rights and criminal justice.
