The content is arranged in two broad areas: one focuses on types of victims (elders, same sex, children), the other on types of contexts in which victimization occurs (e.g., college campuses). The chapters include some areas that are not commonly investigated, such as victimization in corrections, and relatively new areas, such as cybercrime. On the whole, the chapters are independent, well written, and well referenced. The authors have experience with or published in the areas they review. . . The reading level is within the reach of undergraduate students. For libraries serving departments of criminal justice, criminology, social work, or sociology that seek to maintain expanded resources.  Summing Up: Recommended. All academic levels\/libraries. * CHOICE *\u003cbr\u003eThis collection of readings brings together a group of scholars who are leaders in their respective areas. Focusing on both individual level experiences as well as the context surrounding various forms of victimization, Contemporary Issues in Victimology provides readers with comprehensive insight into the issues experienced by a broad range of people. In addition, the topics are truly contemporary. From cyber victimization to human trafficking, new forms of victimization are given the attention that future professionals will need as they develop prevention and intervention strategies. Recognizing how victims’ roles have changed over time, this book provides the most up-to-date insight into the world of victims. -- Brian Payne, Old Dominion University\u003cbr\u003eI really enjoyed the attention given to the topics in this book. It tackles issues, such as same-sex IPV, mass shootings, and victimization in correctional facilities, which are truly emerging areas in victimology. The book will be a great addition to any victimology course. -- Emily M.
