About this subject
In this course, you’ll investigate the study of crime victims and their interactions with the criminal justice system. Explore who victims of crime are and what it means to be victimised, and re-victimised. Study the impacts of trauma and look at experiences of crime, and legal and criminal justice responses to crime from a victim perspective. Examine the historical origins and modern developments of victimology in Australia and around the world, considering societal definitions of what constitutes victimisation, victims' rights, and relevant legislation that provides avenues for compensation and restoration. An important focus of the course is the impact of crime upon victims and how the criminal justice and welfare systems respond to victims' needs before, during and after criminal justice processes. You’ll learn about victims' interactions with police, the courts and correctional services and examine how these systems can be improved to enhance opportunities for rehabilitation and just outcomes.
