"A study of crime victims and the process of victimization, this book is essential because it explains the dramatic changes in our criminal justice system over the past two decades. In doing so, it will shape the course of changes yet to come."
--from the Foreword by Thomas Schneider, U.S. Attorney, Eastern District of Wisconsin [see also quotes from first edition]
