However, Wemmers takes this further by providing a powerful analysis of structural and institutional reform, through the emerging human rights instruments that place victim rights firmly on the policy agenda. Bringing together a volume of this kind is no small feat, internationally significant, but with obvious relevance to those especially interested in Canada’s justice response."" -- Tyrone Kirchengast, Sydney Law School, University of Sydney * <em>International Review of Victimology</em> *"
