Victimology and Victim RightsInternational comparative perspectives\nAuthor(s): Tyrone Kirchengast\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781472461834, 978-1472461834\nSynopsis\nThis book examines the international, regional and domestic human rights frameworks that establish victim rights as a central force in law and policy in the twenty-first century. Accessing substantial source material that sets out a normative framework of victim rights, this work argues that despite degrees of convergence, victim rights are interpreted on the domestic level, in accordance with the localised interests of victims and individual states. The transition of the victim from peripheral to central stakeholder of justice is demonstrated across various adversarial, inquisitorial and hybrid systems in an international context.\n\nExamining the standing of victims globally, this book provides a comparative analysis of the role of the victim in.
