Forensic Victimology

Forensic Victimology: Examining Violent Crimes in Investigative and Legal Contexts, Third Edition

introduces criminologists and criminal investigators to the idea of systematically gathering and examining victim information for the purposes of addressing investigative and forensic issues.

The book continues the legacy of the first two editions with both theoretical and applied coverage of the subject of victimology.

The specific applications discussed remain investigative and provide legal venues designed to assist investigators and forensic examiners with the task of performing victimological assessments.

Sections delve into the areas of femicide and mass shootings, which are global problems that further emphasize related casework and research.
