Forensic Victimology: Examining Violent Crimes in Investigative and Legal Contexts, Third Edition introduces criminologists and criminal investigators to the idea of systematically gathering and examining victim information for the purposes of addressing investigative and forensic issues. The book continues the legacy of the first two editions with both theoretical and applied coverage of the subject of victimology. The specific applications discussed remain investigative and provide legal venues designed to assist investigators and forensic examiners with the task of performing victimological assessments. Sections delve into the areas of femicide and mass shootings, which are global problems that further emphasize related casework and research.

Provides context and scope for both the investigative and forensic aspects of case examination and evidence interpretation
Approaches the study of victimology from a realistic standpoint, moving away from stereotypes and archetypes
Includes case examples to demonstrate the application of forensic victimology
