"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]
Informative and readable, this new edition of the acclaimed and widely adopted Victims of Crime provides state-of-the-art reports on the many facets of criminal victimization. Integral topics include an examination of current trends, the emotional impact of crime, the needs and problems of special types of victims, victim participation in the criminal justice system, and the evolution of policies and services for victims. Carefully selected chapters from the first edition have been revised and updated, while added chapters cover important cutting-edge topical material. Victims of Crime, Second Edition features new coverage of a variety of issues, including: hate crimes; coming to terms with sudden, traumatic losses; victimization of children; and breaking the cycle of violence through victim assistance.
