CJ 3150 - Victimology


The course examines the role of the victim in the justice system ‐ the evolution of victimology as a separate and distinct discipline and contemporary theories of victimology. To that end, we will consider: victim‐offender relationships and victim precipitated crimes; the connection between demographics and the risk of victimization; the impact of the victims’ rights movement on policy and legislation; victims of specific types of crimes such as rape, murder and stalking; the emergence of forensic victimology as an investigative tool; and victims of the criminal justice system‐those wrongfully convicted of and imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. Prerequisites: CJ 1110 ; must have completed a minimum of 30 credits. (4 Credits)
