Full Description
This book provides an overview of the field of victimology. Unlike existing victimology textbooks, it includes previously published articles on victimology combined with original text that provides background information relevant to the section and context for the articles.

Victimology: A Text/Reader will has an overarching focus on the extent, causes, and responses to victimization.
