International Victimology Conference
Publication date: 5-10-2010
Article:
Victim Support Scotland celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and therefore hosts a victimology conference in Edinburgh, 5-7th of October. The conference addresses why victims choose to tell or not tell anyone about a crime, reflects on victim engagement in the justice system and advances the knowledge of all service provision to people affected by crime. It will have a particular focus on unreported crime, an area where very little information currently exists.
Speakers include Viviane Reding, vice president of the European Commission, who will address recent legislative changes and outline the future agenda to improve victims' rights throughout Europe. The conference will also be addressed by Kathryn Turman, Program Director for Victim Assistance within the FBI, who will give an overview of the FBI victim assistance programme. The mother of a murder victim will speak about her personal experiences. She will also address the topic how criminal justice agencies can learn to engage with people experiencing trauma.
