See all formats and editions

This new textbook provides students with the basic principles and practice standards of forensic victimology--the scientific study of victims for the purposes of addressing investigative and forensic issues. It provides case-based coverage with original insights into the role that victimology plays in the justice system, moving beyond the traditional theoretical approaches already available. The purpose of this textbook is to distinguish the investigative and forensic aspects of victim study as a necessary adjunct to the field of victimology. It identifies forensic victimologists in the investigative and forensic communities and provides them with methods and standards of practice needed to be of service. This book is intended to educate students on the means and rationale for performing victimological assessments with a scientific mindset. Forensic Victimology is designed specifically for teaching the practical aspects of this topic, with “hands on real-life case examples.

Applied victimology for students and caseworkers performing objective examinations as opposed to theoretical victimology that studies victim groups and crime statistics.
First ever textbook detailing a mandate, scope and methods for forensic victimologist practitioners.
Provides a critical / scientific counterbalance to existing mainstream texts approaching general victimology with a pro-victim bias.
Written by practitioners of forensic victimology in the investigative, forensic, mental health, and academic communities.

Still mostly for the Criminal Justice of Criminal Behavior set, this text sheds light on how many times, looking at the victim can lead you to the criminal.
