Course description

This course is not offered in 2013.

There are two actors within a criminal act - the perpetrator and the victim - and the victim is often forgotten. This course takes a critical view of the victim's relationship with the perpetrator and the criminal justice system, and the media's and society's varied reactions to victims. Blended modes of delivery are available - either online or on campus. Course will only be offered if enrolments exceed 20 students.
