Description: Revisiting the 'Ideal Victim': Developments in Critical Victimology [Hardcover] Duggan, Marian; Sloan, Jennifer; Furusho, Caroline Yoko; Pemberton, Antony; Bosma, Alice; Gracia, Jorge; Cohen, Claire; Cross, Cassandra; Bows, Hannah; Heap, Vicky; Fohring, Stephanie; Davies, Pamela; Ring, Sinead; Corteen, Karen; Barnes, Rebecca; Donovan, Catherine; Zempi, Irene; Mason-Bish, Hannah; Mulder, Eva and Christie, Nils Product Overview Nils Christie’s (1986) seminal work on the ‘Ideal Victim’ is reproduced in full in this edited collection of vibrant and provocative essays that respond to and update the concept from a range of thematic positions. Each chapter celebrates and commemorates his work by analysing, evaluating and critiquing the current nature and impact of victim identity, experience, policy and practice. The collection expands the focus and remit of ‘victim studies’, addressing key themes around race, gender, faith, ability and age while encompassing new and diverse issues. Examples include sex workers as victims of hate crimes, victims’ experiences of online fraud, and recognising historic child sexual abuse victims in Ireland. With contributions from an array of academics including Vicky Heap (Sheffield Hallam University), Hannah Mason- Bish (University of Sussex) and Pamela Davies (Northumbria University), as well as a Foreword by David Scott (The Open University), this book evaluates the contemporary relevance and applicability of Christie’s ‘Ideal Victim’ concept and creates an important platform for thinking differently about victimhood in the 21st century.
