Key topics include: intimate partner violence and dating violence, rape and sexual assault on the college campus, Internet victimization, elder abuse, victimization of inmates, repeat and poly-victimization, fear of crime and perceived risk of crime, human trafficking, mass shootings, and child-to-parent violence.

Review :
Each of the 11 essays in this book of readings provides a review and update of a specific area of victimology. The content is arranged in two broad areas: one focuses on types of victims (elders, same sex, children), the other on types of contexts in which victimization occurs (e.g., college campuses). The chapters include some areas that are not commonly investigated, such as victimization in corrections, and relatively new areas, such as cybercrime. On the whole, the chapters are independent, well written, and well referenced. The authors have experience with or published in the areas they review. . . The reading level is within the reach of undergraduate students. For libraries serving departments of criminal justice, criminology, social work, or sociology that seek to maintain expanded resources. Summing Up: Recommended. All academic levels/libraries. This collection of readings brings together a group of scholars who are leaders in their respective areas. Focusing on both individual level experiences as well as the context surrounding various forms of victimization, Contemporary Issues in Victimology provides readers with comprehensive insight into the issues experienced by a broad range of people. In addition, the topics are truly contemporary. From cyber victimization to human trafficking, new forms of victimization are given the attention that future professionals will need as they develop prevention and intervention strategies. Recognizing how victims’ roles have changed over time, this book provides the most up-to-date insight into the world of victims. I really enjoyed the attention given to the topics in this book. It tackles issues, such as same-sex IPV, mass shootings, and victimization in correctional facilities, which are truly emerging areas in victimology. The book will be a great addition to any victimology course. Collectively, Contemporary Issues in Victimology: Identifying Patterns and Trends crosses several social science disciplines, and will interest a vast audience, including victim advocates, lawyers, criminal justice system practitioners, legal analysts, criminologists, sociologists, psychologists, social workers, and other professionals involved in sexual assault prevention and other victim services. The use of real life examples in case studies allows the reader to feel connected to the issues. Because the book is a compilation of diverse topics, this book can reach an even wider audience and is a valuable text or supplemental text for faculty teaching victimology courses, and a valuable reference for upper-level undergraduate students, graduate students, and various stakeholders, and for those interested in offense legislation and criminal justice policy.
