ABOUT THE AUSTRALASIAN SOCIETY OF VICTIMOLOGY

 

The Australasian Society of Victimology (ASV) was established in 1988.  It is a non-profit, community organisation dedicated to furthering the interests of victims, in particular victims of crime, through research, training and education.  The ASV is affiliated with the World Society of Victimology which, in turn, is formally affiliated with the United Nations as a non-government organisation.

The ASV is not a government organisation and receives no regular grant from government, although funding support has been granted by government for several ASV ventures including the initial issue of the Journal of the Australasian Society of Victimology, the development of educational materials for the first victimology course at the Adelaide Institute of TAFE, and the convening of the 8th International Symposium on Victimology.

The ASV pursues its objectives in various ways including:
by arranging lectures by prominent academics and theoreticians in victimology, criminology and related areas;
by convening seminars of practitioners in the fields of victim services and victim counselling;
by producing the journal and occasional publications.

The ASV is governed by an Executive Committee, including a President and Secretary.
