Criminology/Law: The Forgotten Victims Of Crime – University Tutorial With Dr Bethan Poyser From Aberystwyth University

29th June 2022 @ 15:35 - 16:20

In this live interactive Criminology/Psychology tutorial, we will be joined by Dr Bethan Poyser, a leading academic from the Department of Law & Criminology at Aberystwyth University, who will explore The Forgotten Victims of Crime.

Certain victims receive more attention, sympathy, and interest than others. Why is this? Aiming to answer this question, this session undertakes a tour of key victimological concepts, culminating in an exploration of victims which are marginalised and forgotten by society and the Criminal Justice System. 

The full context/introduction to this live and interactive discussion is provided by the university in a Headliner recorded resource (see below) which offers insights into the key academic research and debate related to this fascinating topic. This recording can be watched as a class activity or independently in preparation for the discussion.

The session aims to deepen students’ understanding of the topic whilst enabling them to access and experience a live online university tutorial.

The Headliner recording is below.
