In recent years, some victimologists have become increasingly engaged in positivist debates on the differences between victims and non-victims, how these differences can be measured and what could be done to improve the victims' experience of the criminal justice system. Written by experts in the field, this book embraces a much wider understanding of social harms and asks which victims' voices are heard and why. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMcGarry and Walklate break new ground with this innovative and accessible book; it offers a broad discussion of social harms, the role of the victim in society and the inter-relationship between trauma, testimony and justice and asks: \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ehow has harm been understood and under what circumstances have those harms been recognised?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ehow and under what circumstances are those harms articulated?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ehow and under what circumstances are the voices of those who have been harmed listened to?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter draws on case studies and a range of questions designed to assist in reflection and critical engagement.
