Victimology
Victimology is the scientific study of victims and victimization, focusing on understanding the experiences, consequences, and responses associated with being a victim of crime. This field of study emerged to shift the focus from traditional criminology, which primarily concentrated on understanding the offenders, to examining the impact of criminal behavior on those who are victimized.
