A chapter in The People Business, 2005, pp 172-173 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Some politically correct people have banished the word “victim”. We are not allowed to say victims of Aids or victims of alcoholism anymore although we may be able to whisper “sotto voce” that some are victims of a train crash.
