Product Description
Synopsis
Karmen provides a completely revised and up-to-date survey of the field of victimology, explaining how severely victims are harmed and how effectively they are being helped. With a primary focus on the victims of street crimes (murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, auto and other thefts), the text covers all subjects related to crime victims: how they were overlooked and then "rediscovered"; statistics that reveal the extent of their suffering and losses; arguments which examine to what degree, if any, victims might share responsibility with offenders for crimes; how the criminal justice system treats victims; the ways victims can be reimbursed for their losses; how dispute resolution techniques like mediation can be used to settle conflicts; what new rights victims have gained through recent legislation; and how the impulse toward vigilantism might arise. This book should be of interest to undergraduate students taking courses in criminology or sociology.
