Hearing the Victim
In recent years far more attention has been paid to victims of crime both in terms of awareness of the effect of crime upon their lives, and in changes that have been made to the criminal justice system to improve their rights and treatment. This process seems set to continue, with legislative plans announced to rebalance the criminal justice system in favour of the victim. This latest book in the Cambridge Criminal Justice Series brings together leading authorities in the field to review the role of the victim in the criminal justice system in the context of these developments.

Democratic Design
Democratic practices and ideals are facing stern tests around the world in the 21st century. Democratic Design argues that to respond effectively and creatively, democrats will need to work with a new and versatile toolkit of concepts and institutions. Existing dominant approaches, such as the deliberative democracy model, offer forms of "silo thinking" at a time when systemic and joined-up perspectives are at a premium. The book builds this new toolkit - the democratic design framework - through an original blend of design thinking and democratic theory and practice. It shows why we need this framework, and how its use can renew and enliven democracy's potential across a range of countries ...
The Representative Claim
Representation is more than a matter of elections and parties. This book offers a radical new perspective on the subject. Representation, it argues, is all around us, a dynamic practise across societies rather than simply a fixed feature of government. At the heart of the argument is the straightforward but versatile notion of the representative claim. People claim to speak or stand for others in multiple, shifting, and surprising patterns. At the same time they offer images of their constituents and audiences as artists paint portraits. Who can speak for and about us in this volatile world of representations? Which representative claims can have democratic legitimacy? The Representative Claim is set to transform our core assumptions about what representation is and can be. At a time when political representation is widely believed to be in crisis, the book provides a timely and critical corrective to conventional wisdom on the present and potential future of representative democracy.
