Description: Crime Victims : An Introduction to Victimology, Paperback by Karmen, Andrew, ISBN 0357037790, ISBN-13 9780357037799, Used Good Condition, Free shipping in the US This introductory textbook explains victimology and victimization in the US. It discusses the definition of victimology, the rediscovery of crime victims, the controversy over shared responsibility, victims and the police, victims’ rights and the criminal justice system, and types of victims and crimes, as well as repaying victims and alternative directions in the 21st century, such as forceful responses and restorative justice. This edition has a new format that emphasizes data, estimates, and other statistical measurements, to focus on facts and information from research and dispel ideas students might have that victimology is a mix of personal opinions and common sense, rather than knowledge based on research and tested theories. It adds more real-life cases from high-profile news stories, bullets numerical findings from research studies, reformulates learning objectives to make them more focused and measurable, updates statistical evidence, and removes cases and research findings that are no longer relevant. It has additional changes in individual chapters, including added examples, expanded and new discussion, and other changes. A companion website is provided.
