Introduction to Victimology and Crime Statistics (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786208447021)

Victimization is an asymmetrical interpersonal relationship that is abusive, painful, destructive, parasitical, and unfair. While a crime is in progress, offenders temporarily force their victims to play roles that mimic the dynamics between predator and prey, winner and loser, victor and vanquished and even master and slave. In other words victimization is the process of being victimized or becoming a victim weather its direct or indirect. It is the outcome of deliberate action taken by a person or institution to exploit, oppress, or harm another, or destroy, or illegally obtain another's property or possession.The book contains fourteen (14) chapters that were carefully selected because they address they first, address the topics typically covered in victimology courses and second, suits the objective of the text title.The effort made in this book is not an end in itself. We therefore appreciate further efforts by scholars or experts in the field of victimology to extend or improve the knowledge acquired therein with the scope deepened, broadened and widened.
