Victimology: The Essentials, 2nd Edition by Leah E. Daigle, provides an introduction to the study of crime victims, victimization, and the social and criminal justice responses to victims. An original study companion can help learners review foundational concepts and develop a stronger understanding of the experiences and needs of crime victims.
The resource can support study of victimization patterns, risk factors, victim-offender relationships, consequences of crime, reporting and help-seeking, victim rights, victim services, prevention, and criminal justice responses. It can also help students examine how individual, social, environmental, and situational factors may influence victimization risk and recovery.
Students can use the material alongside assigned textbook chapters, lectures, classroom discussions, instructor materials, and independent study. Reviewing terminology, comparing perspectives, and applying concepts to hypothetical situations can strengthen analytical and critical-thinking skills.
The resource is particularly appropriate for students studying victimology, criminology, criminal justice, sociology, law enforcement, social work, and related disciplines. It can help learners understand the experiences of victims while considering the roles of law enforcement, courts, corrections, victim-service organizations, and communities.
