Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and
law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed
to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys
of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete
subject areas. This Advanced Introduction charts the growth and
development of victimology since the Second World War. Exploring
competing theoretical perspectives, data sources, and policy
emphases, it presents a critical overview of the field and suggests
future directions of travel for researchers. Topics covered include
trauma creep, witnessing pain, gaining knowledge of suffering,
compensation, the role of offenders, and victim-centred justice.

and students in criminology, sociology, social policy, and criminal
justice. It will also prove a useful guide for activists and
