Abstract

In spite of the aggressiveness inherent in modern post-industrial society, contemporary criminal policy has given little or no attention to the problem of diffuse victimization in crimes against collective interests. The consequences of this form of criminality, such as social insecurity and harm to public health, call for a firmer stance towards the promotion of measures of devictimization and the prevention of revictimization. A victimological approach should consider diffuse victimization and the identification of real victims as a basis for the promotion of measures involving public assistance and material, medical, psychological and social reparations. The present article intends to awake interest in this realm of contemporary victimology, with reference to both Spanish Criminal Law and International Criminal Law.
