The moment that justice must be paid for by the victim of
injustice, it becomes injustice itself.
Benjamin Tucker
Justice for the perpetrators cannot be separated from the
vindication of the rights of the individual victim.
Jalal Talabani
Welcome to Victimology!
I hope you are looking forward to learning about the topic of Victimology. We will be exploring
who are victims of crime, the role of the perpetrator and the victim, and how
the criminal justice system responds to victims of crime. We will learn
about very specific crimes such as rape, domestic violence, child abuse, elder
abuse and others. Recognizing that some of the topics may be difficult for
some people, we will approach the subjects with sensitivity.
What is expected of you?
You are expected to attend classes regularly. You are expected to do the reading and be ready to participate
in class. You are expected to turn in your
assignments and turn them in on time.
You are expected to study for the exams and take them on the assigned date.
Open discussion is
welcome on any topic we cover.
I look forward to this semester, and I hope you do too!
