It involves powerful interests, diverse inequalities, and media representations that tend to privilege particular understandings of victims. This excellent text provides a critical interrogation of victimology by emphasising context and interpretation, politics and social justice. It, too, is not socially neutral, and we are all the better for it.  -- Rob White\u003cbr\u003eThe first edition of the book came out in 2007. The publication of this second edition within ten years is timely and likely to be viewed positively by lawyers, students of law and criminology, policy-makers and players in the law and justice sector such as judicial officers, prosecutors, and prison administrators and by scholars of the sociology of crime. -- Paul Kenneth Mwirigi Kinyua\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVictims, Crime and Society: An Introduction Defining Victims and Victimisation News Media, Victims and Crime Historical Perspectives in Victimology Theoretical Perspectives in Victimology Global Perspectives in Victimology Fear, Vulnerability and Victimisation Gender, Victims and Crime Older People, Victims and Crime Socio-Economic Inequalities, Victims and Crime Race, Religion, Victims and Crime Sexuality, Victims and Crime Victims of the Powerful Glossary\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sage Publications Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49083981136215,"sku":"9781446255919","price":40.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781446255919.jpg?v=1725550656","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/victims-crime-and-society-9781446255919","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
