Beyond Advocacy: Mapping the Contours of Victim Work (article)

Journal of Interpersonal Violence

In contrast to works on victim advocacy in specific organizational contexts, this article introduces the term “victim work” to capture the vast array of victim-related roles and tasks that have proliferated in recent decades. Victim workers have diverse work experiences that span hotlines, crisis response, legal proceedings, and post-conviction support. Three themes emerged in interviews that characterize “victim work”: flexibility, feelings, and the challenge of “fit”—the multifaceted difficulties of interacting with victims and agents of the justice system. Based on the findings, we offer a revised model of criminal justice vis-à-vis victims and implications for practice and future research.

The politics of punishment: A study of the passage of the 1925 Federal Probation Act

Journal of Offender Rehabilitation

Probation is the most common form of correctional supervision in the United States, yet its history remains largely understudied. This study examines probation’s transformation from private charity to public system through an analysis of House judiciary committee hearing records leading up to the 1925 Federal Probation Act. The data reveal change over time in committee members’ key concerns and proponents’ framing of probation. The results shed light on the transformative nature of the legislative process as reforms evolve from grassroots ideology to public policy. Further, they lend insight into the historical roots of many of probation’s modern-day challenges. The findings inform a dynamic cause and constraint model of penal reform.

Outsiders inside: Victim management in an era of participatory reforms (article)

International Review of Victimology

This article examines how court professionals interact with and manage victims in the wake of victim participatory reforms. Analysis reveals that legal and allied professionals actively manage victims’ participation throughout the legal process by using creative means to protect them from the sometimes onerous effects of participation while also meeting institutional needs, albeit with varying levels of success. Four strategies—demystification, management of emotions, victim-shielding and strategic exclusion—are discussed and the limits to their efficacy are considered. Future theoretical and policy implications for the practice of victim participation in adversarial legal systems are also addressed.
