Victims of Violence: For the Record edited by William S. Parkin and Peter A. Collins illuminates specific types of victimization and how they are portrayed in criminological literature and the press, most notably within The New York Times. The book also contains several pedagogical features to facilitate learning and improve the student experience.

A Literature Review and Content Anaylsis for the main topic in each chapter allow readers to examine how the victims that The New York Times chooses to cover may, or may not, represent the typical victim and typical victimization patterns that are reported in empirical research.

Key Terms and Discussion Questions at the end of each chapter encourage critical thinking and reinforce important concepts from the text.

Informational Tables and Figures illustrate key concepts and increase student understanding.
