Readings in Victimology: A Closer Look at Crime Victimization features a collection of carefully selected readings that provide a comprehensive overview of the study of crime victimization within the context of justice, law, and society. The anthology employs a critical perspective, emphasizing the social, economic, and political contexts in which crime takes place and how these factors influence the responses to crime victimization and the variety of victims of crime.
The anthology begins with an exploration of the historical development of the field of victimology. Additional chapters address emerging trends in criminal justice response to crime victimization, as well as the various issues and dilemmas involved in the study of the relationships among crime, criminal offending, and victimization. Victim rights, restorative justice, and recurrent patterns of behavior are covered. The text features case profiles, as well as examples of principles and theories of crime victimization from multiple perspectives.
The second edition features new readings that examine emerging issues in victimization and directions and developments in restorative justice. Chapter 5 includes new material that analyzes the cost of crime to victims.
Providing students with a valuable, research-based overview, Readings in Victimology is an ideal supplementary resource for courses in victimology studies.
