A competent overview

I have been teaching Victimology classes using Karmen's book since the first edition. I have occasionally tried other books, and always gone back to Karmen. For a semester of intensive work, this comprehensive book from someone with real experience on victim issues is about the right length. My only complaint is that he sometimes bends over too far backward trying to be balanced. If you want a thorough overview of issues concerning crime victims in the American criminal justice system, this is as good as it gets.
