Rianne LetschertPrinted on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) v AcknowledgmentsIn December 2006 the European Forum for Restorative Justice was awarded a project on 'Developing standards for assistance to victims of terrorism' by the European Commission. The partners involved were the International Victimology Institute Tilburg (INTERVICT), the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence of the University of St. Andrews, the Catholic University of Leuven (K.U. Leuven) and Victim Support the Netherlands (in cooperation with the European Forum for Victim Services -now Victim Support Europe). As will be further elaborated in the introduction, the project aimed to develop more extensive standards for the aid and assistance to victims of terrorism at the European level.The standards were developed in two seminars (held in November 2007 at the K.U. Leuven), in which academic experts and practitioners involved in the assistance of victims of terrorism articipated (see Annex 1). The groundwork for the seminars was a first draft literature review, undertaken by researchers of the K. The researchers wish to thank the members of the Steering Committee for their assistance in developing the outline of this study, and for providing invaluable input by commenting upon the draft and final versions of the literature review. We also thank the participants of the seminars and the conference for their valuable contribution and interesting discussion items brought forward during the seminars and conference workshops.We furthermore wish to express our gratitude to bereaved family members of victims of terrorist acts for sharing their experiences with us. During the short time available for this study we could not conduct an empirically sound study interviewing a large number of survivors. Nevertheless, the stories we heard were inspirational and provided us with important information. A book like this can only focus on the needs of victims of terrorism in general. We acknowledge the fact that every situation is different and each person unique. We can only express our hope that it provides a just overview of the most important needs victims may have.
