This booklet seeks to link or reinforce the efforts of those who investigate and prosecute arson cases with the needs and rights of those who are the victims of arson--particularly victims of residential arson. It is addressed to police, fire officials, prosecutors, and victim/witness coordinators who are in frequent contact with arson victims, but who may not recognize fully the potential implications of that contact for either the victim or the system.

Excerpt from Arson Victims: Suggestions for a System Response Arson has always been a particularly unattractive crime to fire service providers, police and prosecutors. Its work demands are high and unpleasant, and its success rates Iow.' Over the past decade, however, many fire departments and law enforcement agencies have concentrated resources and energies into improving the investigation and prosecution of arson cases. Commendable progress has been made in these two areas. A third major aspect of arson cases has received less attention. This is the improved treatment of those most adversely affected by the crime - the victims of arson. During the past decade, increased sensitivity to the plight of crime victims has resulted in many legislative and programmatic efforts to improve their treatment. For example, improved protections against intimidation, increased use of restitution, utilization of victim impact statements in sentencing, an emphasis on victims rights litigation, and increased services to victims are being implemented in jurisdictions around the country. Rarely however have these efforts been viewed in the context of victims of arson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
