Punishing Violence
It is a common perception that violent crime is on the increase and social surveys record a growing fear of victimisation among the public. Yet not all violence is criminalised, and much criminal violence still goes unreported.

Antonia Cretney and Gwynn Davis examine the rela…

If the victim is too fearful or for some other reason is reluctant to co-operate with the prosecution effort, matters proceed no fu…
