In the nearly four decades since the First International Symposium
on Victimology convened in Jerusalem in 1973, some concepts and
themes have continued to hold a prominent place in the literature,

International Handbook of Victimology provides an interdisciplinary
study of the topic from a diverse range of professionals on the
cutting edge of victimology research. Forty experts from top
research facilities and universities around the world provide input
on the traditional longstanding issues that surround the field of
victimology and explore newer themes such as restorative justice,
the use of government-sponsored crime victimization surveys,
compensation and restitution schemes, and victims' rights
legislation. The second in a trilogy of volumes, this handbook
examines victimology from criminology, sociology, psychology, law,
and philosophy perspectives. Topics discussed include: Theoretical

of an eternal societal plague. Those wishing to continue their
