Description

‘Focusing on key issues, themes and concepts within victimology, this edited collection provides an accessible and comprehensive critical analysis of crucial areas within victimisation. The main theories are related to, and integrated with, empirical research in an engaging style.’ – Dr Anette Ballinger, Keele University

‘This book achieves the rare feat of helping its readers without patronising them. The aids to the reader – tables, boxes, glossaries, questions, and suggestions for further reading – will prove genuinely helpful to students and their teachers, but they appear within a text that is theoretically informed as well as comprehensive and up to date in its coverage. It deserves to be widely read and used in the teaching of criminology, victimology, and criminal justice’ – Professor David Smith, University of Lancaster, UK.

Organized around the intersecting social divisions of class, race, age and gender, the book provides an engaging and authoritative overview of the nature of victimisation in society. In addition to a review of the major theoretical developments in relation to understanding aspects of victimization in society, individual chapters explore the political and social context of victimisation and the historical, comparative and contemporary research and scholarly work on it.

Each chapter includes the following:

– Background and glossary
– Theory, research and policy review
– `Thinking critically about…’ sections
– Reflections and future research directions
– Summary and conclusions
– Annotated bibliography

Victims, Crime and Society is the essential text on victims for students of criminology, criminal justice, community safety, youth justice and related areas.
