Placebo Justice: Victim Recommendations and Offender Sentences in Sexual Assault Cases

Anthony Walsh

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

After many years of neglect, crime victims have recently been rediscovered, and concern for them has become an important item on the agenda of the criminal justice system. 1 Feminist activists have exerted particular pressure on the criminal justice system to reform its attitudes and practices relating to the concerns of sexual assault victims. 2 One might reasonably expect that this upsurge of concern will result in sexual assault victims exerting greater influence on decision-making at all stages of the processing of offenders.
