Week 1: Introducing the unit

Hello world!

This is the first post on the unit blog for Victims and Victimology, 2012/13; thanks for checking it out.

I'll be using this blog to post feedback on our seminar discussions and any other ideas, thoughts and comments relating to each week's teaching. There's not a lot to say in this first week, except

• do read; the more you read for this unit the more you'll get out of it
• do read "The Ideal Victim" in particular; it's an easy read but there's a lot in there
• do start thinking about real-life examples of victims of crime
  
• do ask if there's anything you don't understand; and
• don't panic!

I think that covers everything for now - see you next week!

You can leave comments on this blog, incidentally, although anything that's intended for me personally is probably better done by email.
