Victimisation provides an accessible but critical review of the study of victims and victimisation, particularly in the areas of theory, research, policy and practice. It aims to provide students with an introduction and overview of the core areas relating to the study of victims and victimisation including: the causes of victimisation; its nature, extent and impact; methods of research; issues of class, age, race, gender and community; the policy context; mechanisms for tackling victimisation and the comparative context. Each contributor to the volume explores a range of historical and contemporary debates and developments surrounding particular aspects of the victimological enterprise, and by doing so outlines their own agenda for the futures of the discipline.

Industry Reviews

'This is a comprehensive, accessible and up-to-date collection of articles by leading writers in the area. It covers key theoretical issues...such as feminism and the impact of crime on the old, the young and within communities. It provides an account of the development of policy in relation to victim support and the criminal justice process along with a critical evaluation of restorative responses. It explores contemporary issues such as...surveillance and the use of victimology and is of considerable interest to all those involved in supporting the victims of crime.' - Hazel Croall, Chair of Criminology, School of Law and Social Sciences, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK

Review of the Hardback Edition

''[A]n overview of theory and practice, this volume provides a useful compendium and introduction to victimology. A handy read for thoughtful students.' - Elizabeth Burney, Institute of Criminology, The University of Cambridge, The Howard Journal of Criminal Justice
