The Victims of Crime provides indispensable information on all aspects of crime victimization, victims’ rights, and victims’ services. Organized in an easy-to-follow, four-part format, it provides a look at important events in the field, up-to-date statistical victimization data, and a theoretical understanding of how and why individuals become victims of crime. Taking a systems approach, it devotes extensive coverage to the crime victim’s interaction with the criminal justice system and includes an entire chapter on economic victimizations.

Quatri�me de couverture

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.”

Natasha A. Frost, Northeastern University

“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.”

Lisa M. Calderon, Metropolitan State College
