Dr Brian Williams was Professor of Community Justice and Victimology at De Montfort University in Leicester. He served on the Executive of the British Society of Criminology and was a volunteer training officer for a local Victim Support scheme. He published widely on victims of crime, including (as editor) Reparation and Victim-Focussed Social Work.
Chapter One: Introduction. The Context: victim policy internationally and in the UK since 1964. Chapter Two: Community Justice and its implications for victims. Chapter Three: Restorative Justice and its implications for victims. Chapter Four: Improving the position of victims of crime. Chapter Five: Real improvements for victims of crime. Chapter Six: Conclusions.
Noting that organizations claiming to represent victims have become increasingly visible and vocal, he looks at some of the associated advantages and drawbacks and shows how certain common themes have dominated this area of policy. He proposes a more balanced approach that takes into account both the needs of the victim and the responsibilities of the offender'.
