I would just add something general on the psychology of victimology. I have conducted a number of studies to evaluate restorative justice programs, in which victims meet their offenders. Reading that literature, one of the things I learned is that, just as offenders do, victims differ in terms of what they need. Some victims really ask for a different kind of resolution to the prison they are confined to as a result of their victimization.
I agree with you that all victims want to make sure they are safe. For some victims, making sure someone is locked away in prison never to harm again is satisfying, but there are victims—and I have met them—who say, “This doesn't bring closure to me. I need to do something else.” So it's a very complex problem. There are studies in which victims, or the families of victims, in the United States have gone on to death row to meet the offender to bring closure to their lives.
