Combining features of a textbook and a collection of readings, this undergraduate text can be used as a supplement or core text for criminal justice courses. The text reviews the history and key concepts of victimology and presents related journal articles, edited to be accessible to undergraduate students. Each chapter includes three journal articles, most current, some classic. Material is presented in a typical sequence, from theories and consequences through sexual victimization, intimate partner violence, child and elder abuse, victimization at school and work, property and identity theft, and special topics such as hate crimes and human trafficking. The text includes a guide to reading research articles, key terms, and a glossary. The two-color layout offers discussion questions, case boxes, summary points, and b&w photos. A student website provides quizzes, flashcards, and links to videos and National Public Radio programs. An instructor website offers a test bank, lecture slides, and sample syllabi. Daigle teaches criminal justice at Georgia State University. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book will be a text/reader that provides an overview of the field of victimology. Unlike existing victimology textbooks, it includes previously published articles on victimology combined with original text that provides background information relevant to the section and context for the articles. In this way, it seeks to relay the history and development of the field of victimology, the extent to which and why people are victimized, how the criminal justice system and other social services interact with victims and each other, and information about specific types of victimization. Victimology: A Text/Reader will have an overarching focus on the extent, causes, and responses to victimization.
