CJ 538 Victimization & The Criminal Justice System
Historically, criminologists have sought to explain crime by focusing exclusively on the role of the offender. Seeing the victim as an integral part of the crime equation is a relatively new focus. In this course you will be introduced to current theory and research to develop a greater understanding of the wider social context of victimology by examining the impact of crime on the victim and society.
