Victims' Rights- Changing Perceptions,
By Matthew West (Homewood, Al USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: With Justice For Some: Protecting Victims' Rights In Criminal Trials (Paperback)
Fletcher's work on victims' rights parades the major criminal cases of the past couple of decades: Dan White, Rodney King, Yankel Rosenbaum, and Mike Tyson. Sadly, Fletcher ignores the cases of everyday victims such as the elderly, people living in poverty, and children. However, by exposing these exceptional, high-media cases, Fletcher is able to deduce 10 recommendations that would assist all victims of crime in stepping inside a criminal system that constantly disregards them as an "outside party." Fletcher correctly concludes that criminal courts should envision each victim as a member of an organized group, seeking vindication. I recommend this book to anyone searching for a practical and academic resource for possible changes in the criminal justice system for the inclusion of victims.
