Wem geschieht - normativ betrachtet - eigentlich Kriminalunrecht? Nach vorherrschender Auffassung in der Strafrechtswissenschaft ist es nicht das faktisch verletzte Opfer, sondern die staatlich verfasste Rechtsgemeinschaft. Das Opfer ist so bloß die »Leinwand«, auf der sich das Unrecht zwischen Täter und Staat abspielt. Die Arbeit argumentiert demgegenüber für einen strafrechtlichen Paradigmenwechsel, um Verbrechen als Verletzung individueller Rechte und zugleich der Rechtsgemeinschaft zu begreifen. Mit einem interdisziplinären Zugang weist es anhand des geltenden Strafrechts die Verletzung subjektiver Rechte von Verbrechensopfern als Wesenselement des Kriminalunrechts aus. Diese neue Theorie des Verbrechens liefert nicht nur ein neues Fundament für eine normativ eigenständige, emanzipierte Stellung der Opfer im Strafrecht, sondern bietet auch einen strafrechtsimmanenten, kritischen Maßstab für die Betrachtung des materiellen Strafrechts, der Straftheorie sowie des Strafverfahrens.»The Wrongfulness of Crimes. On Rights and Rights Violations in Criminal Law«: The thesis challenges a common view in criminal law theory, which understands criminal wrongdoing as offences against the state. Instead, the author proposes a paradigm shift arguing that crimes are conceivable as intersubjective right violations and simultaneously as violations of the legal community. Thus, the book provides the foundation for a better understanding of the role of victims in criminal law and an innovative critical standard for evaluating criminal law and criminal procedure.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is an annual data collection designed to gather information about nonfatal personal crimes and household property crimes in the United States. The main purpose of the NCVS is to accurately measure the number and type of criminal victimizations that occur each year to persons age 12 or older. Victimization rates are most commonly used in NCVS reports to describe changes in the level of personal and household crime over time and the levels of crime experienced by different population subgroups.

Victim status and gender Development and implementation of victim assistance in Switzerland In Switzerland, the Victim of Crime Act (VCA; Opferhilfegesetz, OHG), in place since 1993, guarantees free legal, medical, psychological and social counselling, as well as some financial compensation for victims of violence. Although female and male persons are affected by violence to a comparable extent, male victims of violence are clearly underrepresented in victim support. How can this difference be explained? Do experiences of violence make women victims and not men? The author explores these questions. She reconstructs the emergence and implementation of state victim assistance in Switzerland from 1978-­-2011, working out how victim status is created in a process of social negotiation and what gender-­- cultural practices are involved. The study offers broad insights into the nationwide political and media discourse surrounding the creation and design of the VCA as well as comparative case analyses of the implementation of the VCA in the cantons of Basel-­-Stadt/Basel-­-Landschaft and Bern.
