Thinking About Victimization

‘Taking a fresh approach, Jillian Turanovic and Travis Pratt analyze victimization across diverse contexts, ranging from the small confines of the prison to the expansive reach of the internet. This volume is rich in theory and scholarship but masterfully written to be accessible to students at all levels. It also is a work of practical relevance, as readers are encouraged to consider the disquieting consequences of victimization and to evaluate the policies—both effective and foolish—proposed to reduce such harm. Put simply, Thinking About Victimization has set the standard for textbooks in this area.’
