Author: Janet K. Wison
Publisher:-  Praeger
Size:- 1 MB
Page:- 344 pages
Price:- $49.95
ISBN:-  0313359350

Features:The Praeger Handbook of Victimology is the first full-scale reference to encompass the full scope of the discipline of victim studies, marking its evolution from an initial focus on homicide, child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence to a more wide-ranging modern interpretation that includes hate crimes, terrorism, and cyber crimes such as online bullying, stalking, and identity theft.

  The Praeger Handbook of Victimology offers an up-to-date portrait of its field, including the latest research from criminal justice studies, feminist studies, and other disciplines, as well as the changing views of the victim from law enforcement and the public at large. The nearly 200 alphabetically organized entries cover everything from terminology unique to the field to victimizations relative to specific crimes to the extension of crime victim rights and victim interactions with the criminal justice system. Victims' advocates, legal professionals, students, researchers, or anyone fascinated by the impact of crime on society will find this a uniquely informative resource.

2. Book Title:- Adolescent Victimization and Delinquent Behavior


Edition:- 2007
Author: Erika Harrell,
Publisher:-  LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC 
Size:- 1.62 MB
Page:- 178 pages
Price:- $55.00
ISBN:- 1593322062 

Features:- Harrell uses several waves of the National Youth Survey to measure whether Agnew s General Strain Theory (GST) could explain the relationship between adolescent victimization and delinquency. She examines the effects of victimization on different types of delinquency across racial and gender groups. The main premise of the GST, that increased strain in an individual can lead to increased delinquent behavior, is supported here. Adolescent victimization, as a source of strain, increases delinquent behavior. However, the effect of adolescent victimization delinquency did vary across racial and gender groups.

Publisher:-   Palgrave Macmillan

Page:- 272 pages
Price:- US$ 
ISBN:- 140398610X

4. Book Title:- Criminal Victimization of the Deaf (Criminal Justice: Recent Scholarship)

Edition:- 2008
Author:Lauren M. Barrow
Publisher:- LFB Scholarly
Size:- 1.2 MB
Page:- 212 pages
Price:- $62.00
ISBN:- 1593322720 

Features:- Barrow measures the rate of criminal victimization of persons who are Deaf using a culturally and linguistically sensitive research instrument. She explores the hypotheses that persons who are Deaf are victimized at rates disproportionately higher than their hearing counterparts. The findings confirm that persons who are Deaf are more likely to be victimized sexually and violently, although there did not appear to be any differences with respect to property crimes. Further, persons who are Deaf are more likely to know their offenders; and the offenders are more likely to be members of the hearing community. And finally, persons who are Deaf are disenfranchised from mainstream culture, resulting in limited information acquisition regarding the general practices and policies of criminal justice personnel, including the police, prosecutors and judges.
