Description

This work is a detailed empirical study of the evolution of the Canadian Solicitor General's Justice for Victims of Crime initiative, an ethnographic study of policy-making in a justice ministry. The book traces the beginnings of the initative in the American victims' movement and academic victimology; it discusses the evangelical work of senior civil servants who introduced ideas about victims into the Ministry; and it proceeds to discuss the way in which those ideas took form in the context of debates about capital punishment, the reform of policing, and violence against women. Although the book focuses on the complexity of policies for victims, it is also concerned with the more general problems of the policy-making process in a federal government.
