Victimology: The Essentials, Third Edition, concisely explores the effects of victimization in the United States and internationally, with an emphasis on vulnerable populations. Drawing from the most up-to-date research, this accessible, student-friendly text provides an overview of the field with a focus on the scope, causes, and responses to victimization today. Renowned author and researcher Leah E. Daigle expertly relays the history and development of the field of victimology, the extent to which people are victimized and why, and how the criminal justice system and other social services interact with victims and with each other. The highly anticipated Third Edition features contemporary issues such as cybervictimization, the neurobiology of trauma, the victimization of LGBQT people, and much more.

About the Author
"This is a really good textbook for an undergraduate Victimology class. It covers all of the necessary topics and is easy for students to
read. I also think that the price point is very reasonable."
University of Arkansas at Little Rock
"This is an excellent text that I use. I find the features in the book (discussion questions) and instructor resources (lecture slides and test
bank) really useful. Some instructors may find a short list of in-class activities helpful as well (included in the instructor resources)."
Georgia Southern University
"I love this text. It is exactly what I am looking for in a Victimology text, and I plan on adopting it for the 2020 school year. This text
tackles the obvious victimology issues, but includes so much more, including global issues, female victim-issues, and hate crime issues."
