It is the sequel to my dissertation Crime and Morality—The Moral Signi?cance of Criminal Justice in a Postmodern Culture (2000), where I hold that the victim became the essence of crime in Western culture, and that this in turn shaped public morality.

Comments in the Dutch press (translated): "an ongoing Aha-erlebnis, ...a brilliant diagnosis of today's society." "...The Safety Utopia belongs on the bookshelf alongside other social-scientific analyses of our times such as Anthony Giddens's The Consequences of Modernity (1990), Richard Ericson and Kevin Haggerty's Policing the Risk Society (1997) and David Garland's The Culture of Control (2001)." (Sir Anthony Bottoms)
