This course explores the diverse experiences of victims of crime, with a focus on the myths and realities of criminal victimization. We will explore theories and patterns of victimization, with emphasis on critical approaches, methods of measuring victimization, and barriers for reporting victimization. The experience of victims as they interact with various criminal justice professionals and processes such as police, the courts, and their role in sentencing of offenders central features of this course. We will also explore responses to victims of crime, with particular attention to victim advocacy and victim's rights legislation, victim advocacy organizations and programs, the professionalization of the discipline of victim services, and current practices in crime victim assistance.
