Les victimes ne recherchent pas seulement, dans l'œuvre de justice, la sanction de l'infracteur. Elles réclament surtout que la vérité soit affirmée dans sa complexité et, davantage encore, que leur droits à la reconnaissance, à l'accompagnement et à la réparation globale des traumatismes subis soient effectivement garantis. L'émergence de la Justice restaurative, offre de réelles possibilité de restauration du lien social meurtri par l'acte criminel. Mais elle doit combiner la dimension rétributive avec le respect de la dignité des personnes impliquées dans le conflit.

This edited volume contains 22 papers organized into three sections under the following headings: part I is entitled On Promoting Victim Policies; Part II On Reforming Criminal Justice; and Part III On Restorative Justice. All three areas are ones to which Tony Peters, former Professor of Criminology in Leuven, has made a significant contribution and for which he is known as an international authority. During his long and productive academic career Tony Peters led many struggles for criminal justice reform. He was a leading figure in the movement to recognize crime victims' plight and to reaffirm their rights. In Belgium, he spearheaded the early initiatives in restorative justice and became one of its outspoken proponents nationally and internationally. There is no doubt that these three major topics and the various developments and reforms that are addressed in the papers will dominate the thinking about, and the practice of, criminal justice in the years to come. Thus, in addition to paying homage to a congenial friend and an illustrious colleague, it is hoped that this book will appeal and prove useful to all those who have an interest in victims issues, in criminal justice reform, and last but not least, in the promising paradigm of restorative justice.

Each year, countless people fall victim to crimes against humanity. These include widespread occurrences of systematic murder, torture, rape, disappearances, forced deportation and political persecution. Crimes against humanity constitute an attack on human dignity and as such they violate the human rights of the victim, as well as the laws of humanity. In recent years, following the creation of the International Criminal Court, there has been a growing interest in the prosecution of offenders and, in particular, in reparation following crimes against humanity. While such measures are meant to provide justice for victims, victims are often forgotten or lost in legal debates about what constitutes reparation and who is eligible to receive it. This book reaches beyond the boundaries of law and psychology and takes a multidisciplinary approach to the question of reparation for victims of crimes against humanity. Law does not take place in a vacuum and it is important to consider the impact of the law on the psychology of the victim, as well as the legal principles themselves. Herein lies the originality of this book, which bridges the gaps between psychology, victimology, criminology and law and will be of key interest to academics and students engaged in the study of these areas.

This new book aims to explore the key issues and debates surrounding the question of the incorporation and institutionalisation of restorative justice within existing penal and criminal justice systems, an increasingly pressing issue given the rapid spread of restorative justice worldwide at both national and international levels. In doing so it aims to build bridges between those concerned with the practical institutionalisation of restorative justice on the one hand, and those engaged in more theoretical aspects of penal development and analysis on the other. It offers conceptual tools and a theoretical framework to help make sense of these developments, reflecting expertise drawn from analysis of developments in Europe, North America and Australasia.

Durant de longs siècles, les victimes ont perdu toute initiative dans la régulation des conflits d'ordre pénal qu'elles subissaient. Leurs dommages ne faisaient pas davantage l'objet de réparation(s) équitable(s). Il a fallu attendre la fin des années 1950 pour que les victimologues s'intéressent enfin à leurs souffrances, autant profondes que diversifiées. Mais les premières recherches ont surtout insisté sur la culpabilité de la victime relativement aux modalités mêmes du passage à l'acte criminel. De potentiel à précipitant, le rôle qu'elle est supposée jouer a fait couler beaucoup d'encre. Et il faut bien reconnaître que sur le terrain des conflits criminels les plus graves, les esprits ne sont toujours pas apaisés. Centrées autour de l'œuvre de Ezzat A. Fattah, pionnier de la victimologie au Canada, les contributions rassemblées dans cet ouvrage permettent d'évaluer les principales avancées des théories victimologiques au regard des interactions susceptibles de s'établir aujourd'hui entre infracteur et victime.
