{"product_id":"9780195039818","title":"The Politics of Victimization: Victims, Victimology, and Human Rights","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis useful text provides a comprehensive introductory overview of the study of victims and victimization. Victimization is here considered as a reflection of American society. Taking a broad perspective, Elias argues that the study of victimology requires more than merely analyzing criminal justice; it requires linking it to much wider social, political and economic relations—especially to the American political economy. This study rejects the official definition of crime and victimization and establishes a relationship between victimology and human rights, thus advocating a \"new\" victimology which embraces victims of both crime and repression. Elias proposes that since much crime arises in response to various forms of oppression, a society unconcerned with human rights violations and its victims can likewise provide little help for crime victims.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008883245296,"sku":"9780195039818","price":72.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780195039818_p0.jpg?v=1763662885","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780195039818","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
