	Victimology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Victimology is the study of why certain people are victims of crime and how lifestyles affect the chances that a certain person will fall victim to a crime.
		The field of victimology can cover a wide number of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, criminal justice, law and advocacy.
		In child sexual abuse victimology is the research paradigm, where child-adult sexuality is considered inherently abusive.

	1996 National Victim Assistance Academy
		Victimology is a term first coined for a specialty within the field of criminology.
		Since victimology originated from the study of crime, some would say that victimology is the study of crime (not victimization) from the perspective of the victim.
		In addition, the debate about the scope and focus of victimology is evolving and is illustrated in the sharply contrasting topics of research that are found in a variety of victimology journals.

	The Importance of Victimology in Criminal Profiling
		The most important aspect of victimology in relation to profiling is the fact that it narrows the offender type tremendously.
		In addition, victimology enables profilers to advise investigators as to which interrogation tactics to use when talking with the apprehended suspect.
		Due to the victimology in the above example, it is most likely that apprehension of the offender will occur in less time than if there had not been victim analysis.

	Victimology Theory (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		During the founding of victimology in the 1940s, victimologists such as Mendelson, Von Hentig, and Wolfgang tended to use textbook or dictionary definitions of victims as hapless dupes who instigated their own victimizations.
		Victimology doesn't have any subfields within itself; in fact, there are few theories, and little or no schools of thought.
		Some so-called victim's rights (such as denial of bail, anti-suppression of evidence, and victim-initiated appeals) clearly are anti-defendant and pro-prosecutor to the extent that they undermine cherished principles that an accused person is considered innocent until proven guilty, and that the burden of proof falls on the state.

	Parableman: Victimology
		Victimology is a real problem, and it does make racial problems worse.
		He emphasizes that this tendency toward victimology is fairly natural and more of a disease than a moral problem people should be blamed for.
		Victimology is far more widespread than racial victimology, and it's reprehensible in any of its forms.

	The History of the Crime Victims’ Movement in the United States
		Early victimology theory posited that victim attitudes and conduct are among the causes of criminal behavior.
		The importation of victimology to the United States was due largely to the work of the scholar Stephen Schafer, whose book The Victim and His Criminal: A Study in Functional Responsibility became mandatory reading for anyone interested in the study of crime victims and their behaviors.
		Victimology in the 1970s helped to buttress what the public already knew – that crime was at unacceptably high levels and its victims were neglected.

	THE IRANIAN: Islam U Muslims, Lee Howard Hodges
		This is what I usually hear when I listen to Muslims discuss the problems within their societies as well as with the West.
		The world is a morality play, in which Muslims have been cast as the victims, and the West, particularly the U.S. and Israel, as the villains.
		This victimology mentality, not U.S. foreign policy or Israel, is the root cause of the backward, oppressive condition the Muslim world finds itself in today.
