Combining theory with responses to victimization

Understanding Violence and Victimization explores forms of violence and their profound impact on victims across settings, whether at home, in the community, or due to personal assault or abuse. Drawing on extensive field experience, Meadows contextualizes the diverse influences on violence and victimization, from social and legal responses to the offender’s role.

The 7th Edition features updates across all chapters reflecting current issues and developments in the field. More practical than theoretical, this edition has new analysis and resources covering victim laws and rights. It also includes a new chapter on firearms and victimization.
