The healing role of reparation
Redaktion: Wemmers, Jo-Anne

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book reaches beyond the boundaries of law and psychology and takes a multidisciplinary approach to the question of reparation for victims of crimes against humanity. Law does not take place in a vacuum and it is important to consider the impact of the law on the psychology of the victim, as well as the legal principles themselves.
