In recent decades, a growing emphasis on meeting the needs and rights of victims of crime in criminal justice policy and
practice has fuelled the development of research, theory, policy and practice outcomes stretching across the globe. This
growth of interest in the victim of crime has seen victimology move from being a distinct subset of criminology in
academia to a specialist area of study and research in its own right. Palgrave Studies in Victims and Victimology
showcases the work of contemporary scholars of victimological research and publishes some of the highest-quality
research in the field. The series reflects the range and depth of research and scholarship in this burgeoning area,
combining contributions from both established scholars who have helped to shape the field and more recent entrants. It
also reflects both the global nature of many of the issues surrounding justice for victims of crime and social harm and
the international span of scholarship researching and writing about them.
