Editorial Reviews
Review
Recently adopted a few seminars for Victimology and this book has helped as it covers the main grounds of the subject.
\
My only critical point would be that it is an American book so some of the ideas don′t always specifically apply to UK CJS. — Miss Amber Maloney ―
A most fascinating and interesting read with each chapter taking the reader through areas of victimisation that affects so many people in different ways and places.
\
This book really is thought provoking and one that I thoroughly enjoyed reading that will be of benefit to all practitioners working in the field of social work, nursing, policing and human sciences.
\
I would highly recommend this book.
— Mr Robert Bielby ―
Easy to understand with detailed information. — Mrs Janet Hassey ―
drupal Published On: 2013-08-02Although this book are newer than \Victimology. A Text / Reader” is exactly like the previous one, without refreshing data. The only difference is that it doesn′t include the papers at the end of each chapter. But I think these papers are interesting and help to understand the research in Victimology to students. Definitely I prefer “Victimology. A Text / Reader.” — Mrs Sandra Escapa Solanas ―
