Revitalizing Victimization Theory: Revisions, Applications, and New
Directions revises some of the major perspectives in victimization
theory, applies theoretical perspectives to the victimization of
vulnerable populations, and carves out new theoretical territory
that is clearly needed but has yet to be developed. With the
exception of a handful of isolated works in the mid-twentieth
century, theory and research on victimization did not come into its
own until the late 1970s with the articulation of lifestyle and
routine activity theories. Research conducted within this tradition
continues to be an important part of the overall criminological
enterprise, and a large body of empirical knowledge has been
generated. Nevertheless, theoretical advances in the study of
victimization have largely stalled within the field of criminology.
Indeed, little in the way of new theoretical headway has been made
in well over a decade. This is an ideal time to revitalize
victimization theory, and this volume does just that. It is an
ambitious project that will hopefully reignite the kinds of
theoretical discussions that once held the attention of the field.
The work included here will shape the future of victimization
theory and research in years to come. This volume should be of
interest to a wide range of criminologists and have the potential
to be used in graduate seminars and upper-level undergraduate
courses.
