Exploring Victimology: The Effects and Consequences of
Victimization combines original writing on key topics in
victimology with carefully chosen articles that expand on the
subjects. The book gives students a basic introduction to important
issues while also exposing them to outstanding primary sources.
Students will gain insight into the effects and consequences of
victimization on various populations, including women, children,
elderly, and secondary victims. The book provides an introduction
to the field of victimology, discusses theories and the measurement
of victimization, examines victim precipitation and victim blaming,
and explores the various costs of crime to victims. Individual
readings examine issues such as the economic toll of intimate
partner violence, the overlap between being a victim and being an
offender, issues involving secondary victims of rape, victim
precipitation among individuals arrested for intimate partner
violence, and the effects of fear of crime. The final group of
readings will familiarize students with victims' rights and explore
the future of victimology. Efficiently and effectively blending
elements of a reader and a traditional text gives students an
overview of the relevant issues in one book. Exploring Victimology
is appropriate for undergraduate courses in criminology, criminal
justice, sociology, or women's and gender studies programs, and may
also be used as a supplemental text for graduate course work.
