Procedures Manual

Purpose

The purpose of this manual is to provide guidance, in addition to that which exists in the Basic Statute of Incorporation (BSI), to all members of the World Society of Victimology so that the actions taken are standardised, sanctioned by the Executive Committee and clearly understood. The aim is also to involve a broader range of members in the planning and management of the Society. The various positions fall within the following groups: The General Membership, the Executive Committee and the Committees established by the Executive Committee. Each of these groups have specific functions which give our Society its organizational life and growth.

The procedures in this Manual are based on the Basic Statute, the Society’s structure and the Executive Committee’s guidance; and, in the absence of existing policy, may be added to by the Executive Committee.
