While a relatively new field in criminology and criminal justice, the study of crime victims is just as important as the study of crime and criminals. The course will review sources of data on crime victims, the interaction between the victim and the criminal justice system, and different types of crime victims, such as intimate partners, children, women, men, and the elderly. Other topics related to Victimology may also be addressed. Prerequisites: ENG 112 or WRI 118, CJ 152, and Sophomore standing.
