When a crime occurs, there are typically two parties involved: the offender and a victim. In the past, the field of criminology often ignored the victim, however in the last few decades victims have been given renewed attention. In this subject, you will be introduced to the area of victimology by exploring various issues and discussions such as: the history of victimology; the rise of victim movement; the nature and extent of criminal victimisation; the victimisation of specific groups; the consequences of victimisation; the relationship between the victim and criminal justice system; and the victim's rights in the criminal justice system. The subject aims to provide you with a better understanding of where victims fit (and the role they play) in the criminal justice system and in the field of criminology more broadly. The subject will be relevant to you if you are seeking work, or aiming to future proof your career, in the criminal justice and legal system, human services (including social work) or the healthcare system.
