Thinking About Victimization: Context and Consequences (Second edition)

1. This book occupies a unique place in the market as an upper level text for courses on victims and victimology. Unlike more introductory texts, it does not offer an exhaustive overview of all types of victimization, but instead an advanced and concise analysis of the sources and consequences of victimization, as well as some special topics, all informed by theory and research. It can be used as a core text, supplemented with key readings.
2. New to the second edition are new chapters on the origins of victimology, school victimization, and extended coverage of intimate partner violence and sexual victimization, as well as new research findings on hate crime, police brutality, human trafficking and gun violence.
