Chapter 1:
Great introductory chapter for bachelor students as an overview of sexual violence victimization.
This books provides a very useful analysis of the victims of crime, which is a very overlooked area in sociological theory. The perspectives examined are analysed from an international context. The more contemporary arguments could also compliment both left and right realist perspectives.
This is an informative text which provides contemporary examples of research and theories. A good source for undergraduate students.
This is a book that examines the issues of the most striking contemporary victimization such as sexual violence, stalking, the hate crime. It also noted the debate on social responses to victims and analyzing the emerging themes. This book is a very complete and current publication, so it is included as essecial literature of the discipline of Victimology of Masters in Criminology and Forensic Psychology at our Fernando Pessoa University, Portugal.

The book is a reader and that was not appropriate for the course as I have it currently designed.
This is a useful text for many students to dip into especially those who are writing essays/dissertations which focus on particular victims.
