The classic nonfiction study of crime victims, with a new introduction, updated bibliography, and resource section, based on extensive original research. Includes interviews with primary victims of aggravated assault, rape, kidnapping, robbery, burglary, theft, white-collar crime, cybercrime, and the secondary victims (survivors) of homicide. From the TAMPA TRIBUNE review: "The author takes a searching, compassionate look at victims of crime and provides much-needed insight into the complex, often devastating aftermath for victims, their families and their friends." The author (maiden name of Dr. Jan Yager) has an M.A. in criminal justice and a Ph.D. in sociology. She is also an adjunct assistant professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice/CUNY, where she teaches Victimology, among other courses. For more on the author, go to: www.drjanyager.com
