Visions of Violence Cinema, Crime, Affect Alison Young, Melbourne University, Australia A crucial question in the analysis of legal practices concerns the processes of identification with, in and as law – a question of how and by what route law achieves its ends. While it is conventional to interpret the practices of law through the institutional sources of the legal tradition, Visions of Violence considers how law and legal practices figure in the cultural field; and, specifically, in film.

Victimology Victimisation and Victims’ Rights L o r r a i n e W o l h u t e r , Stellenbosch University, South Africa, N e i l O l l e y , University of Wolverhampton, UK. and D a v i d D e n h a m , University of Wolverhampton, UK This new book examines the theoretical arguments concerning victimization before examining who victims actually are and the measures taken by the criminal justice system to enhance their position. Particular attention is paid to the victimization of women, LGBT persons, minority ethnic persons and the elderly. The text engages in a detailed exposition of the law’s response to such victimization, focusing on the measures adopted in international human rights law, by the Council of Europe, and in English law and policy. It also assesses alternative models of victim participation in criminal proceedings in European jurisdictions such as Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach which encompasses law, criminology and social policy, the book is ideal for undergraduates taking an option in victimology, race and crime, or gender and crime, whatever their disciplinary background.
