In so doing it addresses not only the policy possibilities that have been generated as a consequence of those changes but also concerns itself with the ability of victimology to help make sense of this change. Written in the post 9\/11 context this book considers the efficacy of theory and policy relating to questions of victimhood to accommodate the current political and cultural climate and offers a critical understanding of both. It adopts an explicitly cross-cultural position on these questions. It will be vital reading for anyone interested in the problems and possibilities posed by criminal victimisation understood in the broadest terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Open University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49795239051504,"sku":"9780335217274","price":47.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780335217274","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
