Crime Victimization: Patterns, Impact, and System Response provides
students with an introductory examination of the discipline through
the writings of criminologists who have made the crime victim,
rather than the perpetrator, the principal subject of their
analysis. In Section I, students read about the historical
evolution of the victim's rights movement and the recognition of
the term "crime victim" in state and federal laws and policies, as
well as criminal justice discourse. Section II examines various
methods of obtaining data on crime victimization, statistics on the
prevalence of certain types of victimization, and the measurement
of other victim-related matters such as public fear of crime and
risk of crime. Section III addresses typologies and theories of
crime that incorporate the victim's behavior and characteristics in
explanations of the criminal event. In Section IV, students learn
about the dynamics of certain types of victimization and their
psychological and financial impacts on victims, their families, and
society at large. The final section discusses responses to crime
victimization by social services agencies and the criminal justice
system. Multidisciplinary in nature, Crime Victimization is well
suited for courses in criminal justice, criminology, sociology,
public administration, health services, and social work.
