Product Description

In 2024, over 2 million Canadians are projected to become victims of violent crime, but most of these incidents will go unreported to the police.Victimology examines the causes and consequences of victimization for individuals, communities, and society as a whole.Drawing from the latest research, victimologist Jo-Anne M.Wemmers provides a critical yet accessible overview of the field.This new edition incorporates updated legislation and statistics, as well as new frameworks such as intersectionality, trauma-informed law, and transformative justice. With a victim-centred approach in a system where victims often remain overlooked and have limited legal rights, Victimology emphasizes the importance of justice that extends beyond the criminal prosecution of offenders.By addressing the structural factors that contribute to victimization, the book advocates for accessible and adequate services for victims, provided by both societal and governmental bodies.Each chapter includes discussion and reflection questions to enhance understanding and engagement.As a fundamental resource for victimology courses in criminology, social work, and sociology departments across Canada, Victimology focuses on Canadian law and policy while maintaining a global perspective.
