Understanding violence and victimization

by Robert J. Meadows

There are no boundaries or rules to when or where violence and victimization may take place. Violence can erupt in the course of day-to-day activities - in the home, in the workplace, or at school. Understanding Violence and Victimization, Fifth Edition addresses theories and varieties of violence and offenders, and also presents practical responses to violence and crime. Real-life studies are featured throughout, demonstrating situations that can lead to victimization as well as the social, legal, and psychological dynamics of violence and victimization.
