Reviews

‘This book is essential reading for students, scholars, and policy makers looking for a rich, critical, and interdisciplinary understanding of victimology. Sandra Walklate's offering is destined to be a classic piece of scholarship, one that powerfully demonstrates that victimology is an important discipline in its own right.’
