victimology and crime prevention have developed along parallel yet
separate paths, and the literature on both has been scattered
across disciplines as varied as sociology, law and criminology,
public health and medicine, political science and public policy,
economics, psychology and human services, and others. The
Encyclopedia of Victimology and Crime Prevention brings together in
one authoritative resource the dispersed information and knowledge
on both victimology and crime prevention. With nearly 375 entries,
this two-volume set moves victimology and crime prevention one step
further into recognized scholarly fields whose research informs
practice and whose practice informs research.
