Police Victim and Victim Justice

Wounded Justice – is a reality in administration of criminal justice by police. Victims of crime, victims of abuse of power/misuse of authority, victims of circumstances and so on are of no concern for police in the prevailing rule of law and criminal justice administration. As there is always a victim at the other end of every police action, victime justice administration assumes greater importance in the year to come. Wounded justice must be healed and the subject matter of this book is all about police, victim and victim justice. Victims of crime and the victims of police action are as important as the crime-doers and the police functionaries who deal with them.
