Victims and the Voluntary Sector: A Torrid Affair

  • Chapter
The Voluntary Sector and Criminal Justice

Abstract

For many years victims in the criminal justice system were ignored, and treated merely as witnesses to help bring offenders to justice. This ensured that offenders faced ‘deserved’ state punishment for breaching societal criminal laws. Under classical ideologies this was seen as necessary to keep crime in check. For researchers, victims were often merely sources of information about crime and offenders. The position of victims is now markedly different. Their changed situation has grown out of various factors: the influence of the international community through various declarations at the Council of Europe (e.g. 1983, 1985, 1987), the United Nations (e.g. 1985, 1999, 2000, 2002) and the European Union (2012); political and judicial rulings which increasingly recognise the interests of victims; and political movements and the work of voluntary sector organisations (VSOs) amongst others. In every state the metamorphosis of victims has grown from rather different roots (Shekhar and Williams, 2014). What these have in common is that victims of crime have come to the fore and criminal justice systems and researchers increasingly strive to address their plight and consider and protect their interests. The way in which, and the extent to which, their interests are addressed depends heavily on how they have been brought into the limelight (Shekhar and Williams, 2014).
