The book explores the evolution of crime and its societal implications over the past two decades, highlighting a shift towards viewing crime as a safety issue rather than merely a judicial concern. It examines how crime now involves various stakeholders, from security firms to local authorities, reflecting a broader societal complexity. The author builds on previous work, arguing that the focus on victims has reshaped public morality, transitioning from duty-based ethics to a personal morality rooted in awareness of vulnerability and potential victimhood.
