Additional Book Details
Criminal Victimization in Higher Education offers a unique perspective of crime and victimization by focusing on college students as a distinct population of crime victims. It reviews concepts central to campus crime and student victimization in a way that is relatable, interesting, and approachable for students and other readers. The book highlights crime and victimization as social issues impacting college students, campuses, and communities by drawing on and synthesizing decades of research involving college students.
Divided into three sections, this text addresses college campuses as crime contexts, college student victimization patterns, and the aftermath and prevention of college student victimization. Across these sections, such topics as legislative responses to campus crime, sexual victimization, cybercrime victimization, the consequences of victimization, victim services, bystander intervention, and situational crime prevention, among others, are reviewed. In addition to covering these content areas, readers will gain an understanding of the research process that has informed this area of social inquiry.
Published at a time when appreciation of these cultural issues among the next generation of policy-makers is more important than ever, this book provides a useful primary or secondary text for courses addressing these issues and was written specifically with college students and stakeholders in mind.
