Product Description
A changing sociopolitical climate that demands tougher treatment of criminals and the growing activism of grassroots groups fighting for victims' rights have spawned important major developments in legislation and criminal justice policies regarding victims' experiences and viewpoints concerning their victimization. These developments have created opportunities for victims of crime to participate in the criminal justice process. To understand the total criminal case, it has become increasingly important to examine the relationship and interaction between criminals and their victims. This collection of twenty-one essays presents illuminating theoretical and empirical studies that focus on various kinds of victimization. The editors provide readers with a balanced sample of works and a valuable introduction to this relatively new and evolving discipline.

It's just a collection of journals September 9, 2009

As you read it, it becomes more apparent that this book is a collection of research projects from Shichor and Tibbets. It's boring to read a bunch of numbers. The writers should learn how to appeal to students rather than simply copy and paste. It's ironically funny how teachers with PhD's think they can do anything, like writing books. But the fact is that most can't write a good book.
