Textbook in PDF format In many ways, the two fields of victimology and crime prevention have developed along parallel yet separate paths, and the literature on both has been scattered across disciplines as varied as sociology, law and criminology, public health and medicine, political science and public policy, economics, psychology and human services, and others. The Encyclopedia of Victimology and Crime Prevention brings together in one authoritative resource the dispersed information and knowledge on both victimology and crime prevention. With nearly 375 entries, this two-volume set moves victimology and crime prevention one step further into recognized scholarly fields whose research informs practice and whose practice informs research. Although humans have experienced crime since the beginning of history, the ideas of crime prevention (stopping crime before it happens) and victimology (studying and aiding those who have suffered from crime) are relatively new concepts. Other reference works touch on these two fields, but this is the first encyclopedia to focus on victimization and prevention within the broader field of criminal justice. Entries cover a wide array of topics, including methods for preventing crime, the psychology and fear of crime, domestic violence, legislation, school and workplace violence, measurement scales and surveys, and theoretical issues in the field. Entries tend to be academic in nature, covering the theory and research behind each topic. Each entry has a bibliography for further reading. Appendixes provide lists of organizations and government agencies and a time line of historical developments in the field. A “Reader’s Guide” serves as a classified index, grouping the entries under 28 general topical headings. Although this is the first comprehensive reference work in these two areas of study and it fills a gap within the broader discipline of criminal justice, its academic nature will make it too specialized for many libraries. Recommended for academic libraries with criminology and criminal justice collections. Encyclopedia of Victimology and Crime Prevention features some 370 signed articles by leading authorities and practitioners on topics within the separate but complementary fields of victimology and crime prevention.This set will be useful for colleges and universities supporting programs in criminology or law, feminist studies, psychology and human services, political science and public policy, and sociology. Key Features Provides users with the most authoritative and comprehensive coverage available on victimology and crime prevention Presents victimology and crime prevention as their own separate, justifiable disciplines rather than subfields within more established disciplines Discusses the status of victims within the criminal justice system, as well as topics of deterring and preventing victimization in the first place and responding to victims' needs Offers "anchor essays" written by leading scholars in their respective fields to provide starting points for investigating the more salient victimology and crime prevention topics Key Themes Business Prevention Actions Civil Justice System Correlates of Victimization Courts: Alternative Remedies Courts: Law and Justice Crime Prevention Crime Prevention Partnerships Criminal Justice System Fear of Crime Individual Protection Actions Interventions and Intervention Programs for Victim and Offender Intrafamilial Offenses Legislation and Statutes Media and Crime Prevention Methodology Offenses, Special Topics Official Crime Data Personal Offenses Property Offenses Psychological, Mental, and Physical Health Issues Residential Community Crime Prevention School and Workplace Offenses School-Based Crime Prevention Services and Treatment for Victims Theory Victimization Scales and Surveys Victimology Youth-Focused Crime Prevention The victimology–crime prevention nexus provides the foundation for a comprehensive and, hopefully, long-lasting approach to addressing the public's risk of being victimized and aids individuals who are targeted by a criminal act.
