Bringing together cutting-edge theory and research that bridges
academic disciplines from criminology and criminal justice, to
developmental psychology, sociology, and political science,
Thinking About Victimization offers an authoritative and
refreshingly accessible overview of scholarship on the nature,
sources, and consequences of victimization. This book integrates
empirical research and victimization theory and is written in a
lively style, with sharp storytelling and an appreciation of
international research on victimization. Rooted in a healthy
respect for criminological history and the important foundational
works in victimization studies, it provides a detailed account of
how different data sources can influence our understanding of
victimization; of how the sources of victimization—individual,
situational, and contextual—are complicated and varied; and of
how the consequences of victimization—personal, social, and
political—are just as complex. Thinking About Victimization also
engages with contemporary issues such as sexual victimization and
intimate partner violence, victimization in schools,
cybervictimization, prison victimization, as well as terrorism and
state-sponsored violence. The second edition reflects new research
developments in victimology, including updated discussions on the
COVID-19 pandemic, police brutality, increases in crime, and school
shootings. Thinking About Victimization is essential reading for
advanced courses in victimization offered in criminology, criminal
justice, sociology, health, and social work departments. With its
unapologetic reliance on theory and research combined with its easy
readability, undergraduate and graduate students alike will find
much to learn in these pages.
