"...the clarity in which the wide range of relevant issues are presented throughout the book makes this must-reading for new entrants to this field and for students."

International Review of Victimology

This book situates the contemporary preoccupation with criminal victimisation within the broader socio-cultural changes of the last twenty five years. In so doing it addresses not only the policy possibilities that have been generated as a consequence of those changes but also concerns itself with the ability of victimology to help make sense of this change. Written in the post 9/11 context this book considers the efficacy of theory and policy relating to questions of victimhood to accommodate the current political and cultural climate and offers a critical understanding of both. It adopts an explicitly cross-cultural position on these questions. It will be vital reading for anyone interested in the problems and possibilities posed by criminal victimisation understood in the broadest terms.

Imagining the Victim of Crime

The fact that Niccola Gavey instructs her students in theory from this book which apologizes for rape is nothing short of a scandal. She describes heterosexual males as being 'unrapeable' by females. She bemoans that concern for male rape victims as a 'newsworthy distraction' at worst, rather than a legitimate concern.
An algebraic formula is even established by Gavey, where by if 'x' happens to a woman it is rape but if 'x' happens to a man it is NOT. What 'x' amounts to is left deliberately vague, but the point to be taken is that Gavey does not consider the assault of male victims in any circumstance concerning, and even appears jealous of the sympathy a male victim might receive.

How is this person to be taken seriously as an authority on the subject of gender politics or sexual assault?
