As numerous academic and political commentators have noted, the implications of introducing a victim's perspective into the delicate balance between state and offender is likely to be a key issue in the future of criminal justice. This volume seeks to outline the contours of the relevant debates, drawing together contributions from prominent international and national commentators, from areas including criminology, law, philosophy, social policy, politics and sociology.

Part 2 Victims within criminal justice: the new status of victims in the UK - opportunities and threats, Helen Reeves and Kate Mulley; victims in criminal justice - creating responsible criminal justice agencies, Joanna Shapland; integrating a victim perspective in criminal justice through victim impact statements, Edna Erez; victims' rights, defendants' rights and criminal procedure, Andrew Ashworth.
