| Summary: | Nils Christie’s contribution to criminology and victimology has been
profound. This article traces the roots of contemporary concerns with
critical and cultural victimology to his work. Alongside this his insightful
comments on public criminology also have some resonance with current
victimological pre-occupations. It is evident from this analysis that without
his voice some of the contemporary concerns of critically informed and
engaged victimology would be absent, for which we owe him a huge debt. |
