How did a woman who suffered such trauma go on to change the face of the justice system in New Zealand and the world?
Verna's and her children's lives changed forever when police knocked on her door one evening and her husband was arrested for a kidnapping, then tried and sentenced to eleven years in jail.

"... a story of institutional maltreatment, of bureaucratic indifference, of the traumatisation and bullying of her children, of individual acts of cruelty and generosity, of hardship, of the value of collective strength and support-and of resilience and faithfulness in the face of adversity." -Sir Kim Workman KNZM, QSO
Описание: The term ""victim"" recognizes a wide variety of victimizations that include but are not limited to physical, sexual, financial, psychological, emotional, and/or social consequences, including vicarious trauma. With such widespread types of victims, it is important that research focuses on these rarely discussed groups to give a better understanding of victimology. Traditional victimology texts focus on broad crime typology, such as the general crime of assault, without looking into victim selection or context. However, understanding the victim of the crimes is extremely important in the pursuit of justice. In addition, these traditional texts continue to exclude certain victimizations such as environmental crimes or white-collar crimes and more. This gap in the field needs to be addressed as some of the most victimized populations remain absent from critical research.
Invisible Victims and the Pursuit of Justice: Analyzing Frequently Victimized Yet Rarely Discussed Populations expands the study of crime victims to be more inclusive of common types of victimization by exploring invisible crime victims that are rarely, if ever, addressed in traditional victimology. This book also provides an understanding of victimization and barriers to victim assistance. The chapters will illustrate the scope and response to these crime victims, as well as answer important questions about victimology and grant real-world perspectives of victimization.
This book is appropriate for a wide range of readership including but not limited to criminologists, victim service providers, psychologists, sociologists, social workers, advocate groups, law enforcement, lawyers, defense attorneys, criminal justice practitioners, academicians, researchers, and students studying criminology, criminal justice, victimology, social work, psychology, and social justice.

Описание:
The true story of an extraordinary friendship
In the summer of 1992, Christopher Morgan, a farmer, joined a penfriend scheme whose aim was to give prisoners a window on the world. He was allocated Tom Shannon, a lifer, inside for murder. Through their correspondence, a strong and honest friendship developed between the two men whose lives were poles apart.
Never intended for publication, the authenticity of these letter is all the more powerful and convincing. Whilst portraying the grim reality of prison life in Britain in the 1990s, they also reassure us that friendship and respect can prevail in the most unlikely circumstances.
Royalties from the publication of the Invisible Crying Tree helped to found Shannon Trust, a national charity unlocking the power of reading for people in prison.
