The Victims of Crime

Informed by the authors decades of professional experience and academic research, The Victims of Crime presents a comprehensive introduction to crime victims, their victimizations, and their treatment by the criminal justice system.

 

Features of the book include: 

• A balanced presentation that includes discussions of both theoretical and practical perspectives on victims, victimization, and treatment
• Integrated case studies that provide real-world contexts for the topics presented in the text
• A complete chapter dedicated to international victimization (Chapter 14)
• Coverage of current topics including hate crimes, victimization of the elderly, school shootings, cyber-stalking, and identity theft

 

There are comparatively few victimology texts on the market, and most of those books that are available have significant flaws. This text addresses many of the deficiencies in these other books, and provides the most comprehensive overview of victimology that I have come across.

This text is a very practical tool that can be used in either an academic setting or as a resource in the field for those professionals and volunteers who serve victims or vulnerable populations. Its tips for victims, resource listings, websites, case studies, and tables make it useful for everyday encounters in both personal and professional settings.
