Essentials of Victimology, Second Edition is a well-regarded and engaging textbook offering a fundamental understanding of the field of victimology. Renowned author, sociologist, and victimologist Jan Yager, Ph.D. explores the evolution of the discipline, both its early and current theories, and includes discussion of key concepts such as victim blame. The text, streamlined in this second edition, includes practical, up-to-date chapters on crime victims, their interactions with the criminal justice system, and the medical, psychological, legal, and financial help available to them. In addition, victims of major violent, property, and white-collar or economic crimes are explored in separate chapters, including primary and secondary victims of homicide, domestic and sexual violence, child neglect and abuse, teen and college victims, victims of terrorism, hate crimes, distracted or impaired (drunk or drug-related) driving, workplace violence, and much more.

Throughout the textbook, Dr. Yager provides compelling real-life examples, based on in-person, phone, or Zoom interviews conducted by the author, and in-depth selected profiles to emphasize the actual impact of crime on its victims and their families, friends, co-workers, classmates, and communities. This well-structured text is designed with the student in mind, offering clear learning objectives, an overview of key terms and concepts, and effective end-of-chapter review and critical thinking questions to reinforce the material. Each chapter also ends with Resources, Cited Works, and/or Additional References. There is a useful glossary in the back of the textbook as well as a detailed index. Based on the research, teaching, writing, and victim advocacy of author and victimologist Dr. Jan Yager, Essentials of Victimology brings a modern and comprehensive perspective to this important field.
