Victimology: Crime Victimization and Victim Services¿ is a text written for undergraduate students that provides a broad overview of the theoretical basis of victimology, and the role of victimology in today's criminal justice system. This multidisciplinary approach to crime victimization, crime victims, and victim services includes chapters written by authors from a variety of disciplines: criminal justice and criminology, counseling, nursing, social work, nonprofit organizations, law, student affairs, and public policy. Within each chapter, chapter highlights provide more in-depth information on a central concept, spotlights on pioneers in the field, and real world applications that demonstrate how the topic is currently being addressed in communities across the country. The authors' goal was to provide a more holistic perspective that is grounded in how theories arose from the real world experiences of victims in one cohesive text.

Victimology, Eighth Edition, shows how to transform the current criminal’s justice system into a victim’s justice system. Doerner and Lab, both well-regarded scholars, write compellingly about the true scope of crime victims’ suffering in the United States. They lay out the sources of evidence available to victimology researchers. In later chapters, theory is woven together with the description of each topic and illustrated with specific examples. The second part of the book addresses the full impact of victimization. Part III, Types of Victimization, details specific problems ranging from violent crimes, child and elder abuse, and property crime to crime in the workplace. The authors emphasize their concern with the extent of criminal victimization, explain how obstacles hinder the pursuit of justice, and introduce the idea that reforms have rendered the system much more victim-friendly. Appropriate for undergraduate as well as early graduate students in Victimology courses in Criminology, Criminal Justice, and Sociology programs, as well as Justice Studies, this book offers an instructor’s manual with a test bank, as well as PowerPoint lecture slides and a companion site with student resources.

Crime Victimization: A Comprehensive Overview provides students with a broad picture of the work done to draw attention to crime victims and the overall effects of victimization, including victim needs for recovery from crime. This text explores victimization at the street crime level, but also delves into less commonly discussed types of victimization including state and corporate crime, hate crime, cybercrime, environmental crime, and workplace violence. This text addresses the full spectrum of victimization from "victimless" crimes to repeat victimizations and provides students with an understanding of why victimization occurs, how victims deal with the aftereffects, what services are available to victims, and how professionals in the criminal justice, medical, religious, and therapeutic fields can both help and hinder victims'' journeys toward recovery. The evolution of the victims'' rights movement, along with the development of national victim service organizations, important pieces of legislation, and international victimological associations are presented to provide students with an idea of the work that practitioners, activists, and researchers have done to both improve services to and enhance our understanding of crime victims overall. Crime Victimization provides a global understanding of victimization to highlight the impact of the crime phenomenon on the overall human condition. Additionally, students are introduced to burgeoning developments in the victim services field along with profiles of victimologists, victims'' rights activities, and victim service providers to help them identify the impact they can have on the field of victimology and on individual crime victims in their chosen fields. "Crime Victimization: A Comprehensive Overview by Quinn and Brightman is a unique, engaging, and timely addition to the current market of victim-centered texts in both its organization and coverage of topics. Profiles of victimologists and victim advocates not only introduce students to opportunities for careers in the field, they present the reality of such work. Including these profiles is only one way this text fills a gap in the market. In addition, issues not commonly focused on by other authors, such as the needs of crime victims and victim advocates, and issues new to the field, such as the challenge of addressing crime victimization in the age of social media offer students new ways to think about the field of victimology." -- Ashley G. Blackburn, Ph.D., University of Houston "Professors Quinn and Brightman have constructed a comprehensive review on the issues surrounding violence and victimization. This readable book includes the mainstays of victimology texts while incorporating new themes in victimology that are often overlooked such as cyber and environmental crimes. Additionally, the text includes chapters addressing victim''s rights. As a result, this well-rounded book can be used as a resource for both academics and practitioners alike." -- Tammy Garland, Ph.D., University of Tennessee Chattanooga "[An] extensive overview of the burgeoning but vastly understudied area of victimology and victimization...provides a broad and comprehensive introduction to an area often while going into enough discussion that the reader is able to know and understand the historical and contemporary contexts of each area of victimology." -- Ava T.

Crime Victimization: Patterns, Impact, and System Response provides students with an introductory examination of the discipline through the writings of criminologists who have made the crime victim, rather than the perpetrator, the principal subject of their analysis. In Section I, students read about the historical evolution of the victim's rights movement and the recognition of the term "crime victim" in state and federal laws and policies, as well as criminal justice discourse. Section II examines various methods of obtaining data on crime victimization, statistics on the prevalence of certain types of victimization, and the measurement of other victim-related matters such as public fear of crime and risk of crime. Section III addresses typologies and theories of crime that incorporate the victim's behavior and characteristics in explanations of the criminal event. In Section IV, students learn about the dynamics of certain types of victimization and their psychological and financial impacts on victims, their families, and society at large. The final section discusses responses to crime victimization by social services agencies and the criminal justice system. Multidisciplinary in nature, Crime Victimization is well suited for courses in criminal justice, criminology, sociology, public administration, health services, and social work. Karol Lucken is a professor of criminal justice in the College of Communication Innovation and Education at the University of Central Florida. She holds a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in criminology from Florida State University. She has authored or coauthored a number of books and scholarly articles in such journals as International Review of Victimology, Journal of Interpersonal Violence, Critical Criminology, and Criminology and Public Policy, to name a few.

It is easy to underestimate how little was known about crimes and victims before the findings of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) became common wisdom. In the late 1960s, knowledge of crimes and their victims came largely from reports filed by local police agencies as part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system, as well as from studies of the files held by individual police departments. Criminologists understood that there existed a "dark figure" of crime consisting of events not reported to the police. However, over the course of the last decade, the effectiveness of the NCVS has been undermined by the demands of conducting an increasingly expensive survey in an effectively flat-line budgetary environment. Surveying Victims: Options for Conducting the National Crime Victimization Survey, reviews the programs of the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS.) Specifically, it explores alternative options for conducting the NCVS, which is the largest BJS program. This book describes various design possibilities and their implications relative to three basic goals; flexibility, in terms of both content and analysis; utility for gathering information on crimes that are not well reported to police; and small-domain estimation, including providing information on states or localities. This book finds that, as currently configured and funded, the NCVS is not achieving and cannot achieve BJS's mandated goal to "collect and analyze data that will serve as a continuous indication of the incidence and attributes of crime." Accordingly, Surveying Victims recommends that BJS be afforded the budgetary resources necessary to generate accurate measure of victimization.
