The first is that imperialism is the basic form of all criminality and that “the rapist, the pickpocket, the robber, the murderer, the arsonist, the bank fraudster, the dictator, all share the qualities of the criminal state that commits violence against the people.” The second is that criminology is a technology designed for the control (‘control freak domination’) of others.

Exclusion and exclusivity are often understood as inimical to social justice in-so-far as one broad category of wrongs results in the denial of access to goods, services, and rights to some people. In a very popular book, Jock Young (1999) captures this understanding and makes the case that we are becoming the "exclusive society." He argues that a welfarist model of social protection that absorbed and accommodated diverse populations is being displaced with a neoliberal one that limits the distributive function of government by reference to a (false) claim to market efficiencies. In the "exclusive society," identities and lifestyles are marginalized, scapegoated, fragmented, and stigmatized. Security is, perhaps, the first claim on government, and it is a revivified concept in a vast number of disciplinary traditions because it is connotative and resonant: it connects the personal and political, the quotidian and existential, hopes and fears; it is also a bridge concept between the needs of individuals or subjects and the organization of social and political bodies. In much scholarly literature and in a growing body of official policy, the call for a more inclusive concept of security is made so that security is not primarily or ultimately a commodity of geopolitics, but is inclusive of human rights and, indeed, the necessities of life (food, water, shelter) for those who are most disadvantaged. Consequently, it is suggested, security must encompass those who are commonly the object rather than the subject of security talk. Indeed, the relation between inclusion and security is tantalizing for those concerned with social justice because it is suggestive of community, oneness, solidarity, peace. Who but an elitist would champion exclusion and exclusivity? The trajectory of modernism and liberal politics is not merely an iterative or reflexive process of absorption, it is also a projection of justified exclusions. The idea that exclusivity and injustice are interchangeable or mutually reinforcing has an immediate but temporary appeal. To provide a concrete illustration, advocates of social justice are correct to assert that the principles at back of a rule of law that empower institutions such as the International Criminal Court or organizations like

We probe respondents’ reflections on the injustice that has shaped the development of their victim identity and their coping devices, including how it relates to their need for self-medication.Many victims develop individual and social defence strategies, or what we refer to as ‘shock absorption’ strategies, through what has been referred to as the ‘impact disorganisation phase’ (Frieze et al. in Professional Psychology: Research and Practice 18:299–315, 1987). However, avoidance coping is understood to become ‘maladaptive’ and difficult to overcome (Wilson et al. in Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing 19:587–593, 2012). It is also commonly agreed that lifelong overuse of maladaptive or avoidance coping strategies results in ‘impaired adjustment to stress’ (Wilson et al. in Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing 19:58...

University Press of New England, Hanover, 1999). Before therapists can engage in such devices, it is necessary to posit some possible roadmaps including the main features that will likely set up the path to survival. This chapter expands on the work by Frank (The Wounded Storyteller. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1995), Barnes (Partner Abuse 4:380–398, 2013) and Jirek (Qualitative Social Work 16:166–188, 2017) to explore victim recovery through reflexive narratives (engaging meaning work in an ordered pathway). This approach is grounded in an understanding of human dignity, inclusive of the variety of ways that victims of crime use coping devices to gain validation or defer active recovery for another time. Strategies involving the active or passive managing of identity will be explored. The model incorporates a reflection on constructing narratives as a response to cultural pressures (Barnes in Partner Abuse 4:380–398, 2013; McGarry and Walklate in Victims: trauma, testimony and justice. Routledge, 2015). The chapter will proceed by offering a brief exploration of meaning work and its importance for victim-survivors. This will be followed by an explication of recovery pathways by way of four adaptations.

However, since ‘disengagement coping’ involves disconnecting the individual from the victimisation, self-medication plays a complex role within an unfolding victim-survivor narrative. In this respect, we review self-medication as dulling or deferring. Still, how an individual responds to trauma is linked to a unique life trajectory. For poly-victims, in particular, some form of avoidance or detachment may be adaptive to the negotiation of a survivor identity (Jordan in Sexual Abuse in Australia and New Zealand 5:48–56, 2013) and for the achievement of short and long term goals.
