Description
Understanding Victimology: An Active Learning Approach is the only textbook with extensive discussion of both online and offline victimization, reinforced by group and individual learning activities. Our textbook offers instructors a variety of active learning exercises—both in the book itself and in the authors’ ancillaries—that engage students in the material and shed light on the experiences of marginalised social groups.
Through these activities, students become engaged with the material at a higher level of learning. They learn how victimisation happens and explore the challenges people who experience crime face in acquiring assistance from the criminal-legal system. Students also build their abilities to work with others in a collaborative learning environment, encouraging professional socialisation for the future.
The chapters in this second edition address gaps in information typically presented in victimology that ignore prevention or intervention. These topics are currently at the forefront of the national conversation about sexual violence in higher education. New to this edition is added coverage of immigrants and minorities, as well as a new chapter on the media and victimisation. Instructor resources are available online.
Suitable for undergraduate courses in victimology, this book also serves the needs of sociology and women’s studies courses and can be taught university-wide as part of diversity and inclusion initiatives.
