The term ""victim"" recognizes a wide variety of victimizations
that include but are not limited to physical, sexual, financial,
psychological, emotional, and/or social consequences, including
vicarious trauma. With such widespread types of victims, it is
important that research focuses on these rarely discussed groups to
give a better understanding of victimology. Traditional victimology
texts focus on broad crime typology, such as the general crime of
assault, without looking into victim selection or context. However,
understanding the victim of the crimes is extremely important in
the pursuit of justice. In addition, these traditional texts
continue to exclude certain victimizations such as environmental
crimes or white-collar crimes and more. This gap in the field needs
to be addressed as some of the most victimized populations remain
absent from critical research. Invisible Victims and the Pursuit of
Justice: Analyzing Frequently Victimized Yet Rarely Discussed
Populations expands the study of crime victims to be more inclusive
of common types of victimization by exploring invisible crime
victims that are rarely, if ever, addressed in traditional
victimology. This book also provides an understanding of
victimization and barriers to victim assistance. The chapters will
illustrate the scope and response to these crime victims, as well
as answer important questions about victimology and grant
real-world perspectives of victimization. This book is appropriate
for a wide range of readership including but not limited to
criminologists, victim service providers, psychologists,
sociologists, social workers, advocate groups, law enforcement,
lawyers, defense attorneys, criminal justice practitioners,
academicians, researchers, and students studying criminology,
criminal justice, victimology, social work, psychology, and social
justice.
