The Handbook of Victims and Victimology, 2nd Edition, edited by Sandra Walklate, offers a comprehensive examination of victimological theory, research, and policy. The handbook investigates how victimhood is defined and understood across contemporary scholarship and practitioner settings.
Organized into five thematic parts, the volume addresses enduring theoretical questions alongside the influence of social divisions such as gender, age, ethnicity, and sexuality on victim experiences. It also evaluates evolving policy responses and international approaches to victim support services.
Designed for students, academics, and practitioners in victim support environments, this 2018 edition includes dedicated chapters on intersectionality, child victims, hate crime, and crimes of the powerful.
