Details
The second edition of Forensic Victimology was an applied presentation of a traditionally theoretical subject written by criminal justice practitioners with years of experience-both in the field and in the classroom. It identified and demonstrated the benefits of forensic victimology to casework, providing clearly defined methods and practice standards necessary for effectively serving the criminal justice system.
In the third edition of Forensic Victimology, solutions are proposed that define and address the structural problem of violence against vulnerable groups; secondary victimization by the state as a product of its narrowly perceived responsibilities and negligent practice; and the specific responsibilities of forensic investigators and examiners with respect to due process, which can only be preserved by due diligence. It was written to be the cornerstone of best practices in the forensic examination of victim harm, the intersectional aspects of vulnerability, and the dimensions of violence that can be suffered.
