Combining graphic honesty with compassion and hope, this book serves as a road map through the aftermath of violence by addressing both the personal and justice issues encountered after violent act. In an easy-to-read conversational style, liberally sprinkled with personal stories, Derksen has organized the Crime Victim Detour (the victim’s journey) into something understandable and readable. Written especially for victims of crime, their friends and family, and service providers. (publisher’s abstract).
