Published in 2009, the first edition of Forensic Victimology
introduced criminologists and criminal investigators to the idea of
systematically gathering and examining victim information for the
purposes of addressing investigative and forensic issues. The
concepts presented within immediately proved vital to social
scientists researching victims-offender relationships;
investigators and forensic scientists seeking to reconstruct events
and establish the elements of a crime; and criminal profilers
seeking to link pattern crimes. This is because the principles and
guidelines in Forensic Victimology were written to serve criminal
investigation and anticipate courtroom testimony.
As with the first, this second edition of Forensic Victimology
is an applied presentation of a traditionally theoretical subject
written by criminal justice practitioners with years of
experience-both in the field and in the classroom. It distinguishes
the investigative and forensic aspects of applied victim study as
necessary adjuncts to what has often been considered a theoretical
field. It then identifies the benefits of forensic victimology to
casework, providing clearly defined methods and those standards of
practice necessary for effectively serving the criminal justice
system.
