In The Victimization of Women, Michelle Meloy and Susan Miller present a balanced, comprehensive, and objective summary of the most significant research on the victimizations, violence, and victim politics that disproportionately affect women. They examine the history of violence against women, the surrounding debates, the legal reforms and justice system outcomes, the related media and social-service responses, and the current science on intimate partner violence, stalking, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape. Plus, they augment these victimization findings with original research on women convicted of domestic battery and men convicted of sexual abuse and other sex-related offenses. In these new data the authors explore the unanticipated consequences associated with changes to the laws governing domestic violence and the newer forms of sex-offender legislation. Both of these investigations are based on qualitative data that involve in-depth offender-based interviews that probe the circumstances surrounding the arrests and victimizations involved in the cases, the significant legal issues, and their experiences with the criminal justice system.

The contributors to this volume -- practitioners, planners, and policy-oriented professionals -- are all concerned with the ways in which women are collectively and individually abused in contemporary society. Despite an apparent rise in the consciousness of the general public with respect to these crimes, the victims continue to be subjected to a second 'victimization' by the criminal justice system, the community, and sometimes their families, who suggest that the women contributed to their criminal victimization or even 'deserved it'.

This text presents two interrelated perspectives of sexual victimization on college campuses. First, it discusses the nature and dimensions of a salient social problem: the sexual victimization of college women. Second, it discusses how scholars have participated in this movement to understand the origins, nature, extent, and ways to prevent the sexual victimization, especially on college campuses. Essentially, the aim of this text is to be a conduit through which students will learn much about the nature of victimization and much about the way in which criminologists, victimologists, and social scientists conduct research that informs theory and policy debates.

Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "Violence against women: A study of victimization reporting in Hong Kong" Submitted by Loretta So Fong Tang for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in November 2006 In response to victimization, there are several options to take by the victim. One of the options is to report victimization to the police. As the police provide initial front-line service within the criminal justice system, offences will not usually be heard and acted on by subsequent levels of the system unless they are reported to the police. More often than not, however, victimization incidents go unreported. Crimes of violence against women (VAW) especially have a low reporting rate. Due to limited disclosure by female victims, the extent and impact of female victimization continues to be relatively unknown, and is an implication that there may be many victims who have yet to obtain justice and receive adequate support. A two-part study was carried out with a random sample of females over the age of 18 in Hong Kong. The female participants were surveyed as part of the United Nations protocol, utilizing the International Violence Against Women Survey. In-depth interviews were then conducted with participants who were willing to have their case followed-up. As this study is the first of its kind to be carried out in Hong Kong, it aims to fill the void in the current literature about crime reporting behaviour of Chinese female victims. It is found that perceived crime seriousness and victim-offender relationship are key variables related to female victimization reporting. While there may be a certain extent of correlation, by no means does it equate to a representative causal relationship. Perception of crime seriousness can be shaped by many factors, including the relationship between victim and offender. At the same time, non- reporting continues to be evident among a majority of VAW cases with only an overall 11.5% of non-partner cases and 13.3% of partner cases being reported to the police. This trend is owing to various reasons but particularly because female victims do not consider the nature of the violence as 'serious'. In sum, the voices of more victims can only be heard when there is greater awareness of what constitutes VAW and the availability of support for females even for seemingly minor incidents.

Research on violence against women has exploded in the past 20 years, particularly in the areas of intimate partner violence and sexual assault. Despite this outpouring of research, many gaps exist in our understanding of violence against women. For instance, reliable information on minority women's experiences with violence is still lacking. Few empirical data exist on the relationship between different forms of violence against women, such as victimization in childhood and subsequent victimization. Finally, empirical data on the consequences of violence against women, including their injury rates and use of medical services, are lacking. To further understanding of violence against women, the National Institute of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention jointly sponsored, through a grant to the Center for Policy Research, a national survey that was conducted from November 1995 to May 1996. The National Violence Against Women (NVAW) Survey sampled both women and men and thus provides comparable data on women's and men's experiences with violent victimization. Respondents to the survey were asked about: Physical assault they experienced as children by adult caretakers; Physical assault they experienced as adults by any type of assailant; Forcible rape and stalking they experienced at any time in their life by any type of perpetrator. Respondents who disclosed that they had been victimized were asked detailed questions about the characteristics and consequences of their victimization, including injuries they sustained and their use of medical services. This NIJ Research Report presents findings from the NVAW Survey on the prevalence and incidence of rape, physical assault, and stalking; the rate of injury among rape and physical assault victims; and injured victims' use of medical services. The data show that violence is more widespread and injurious to women's and men's health than previously thought—an important finding for legislators, policymakers, intervention planners, and researchers as well as the public health and criminal justice communities.
