Children are the most criminally victimized segment of the population, but the problem has been addressed in a highly fragmented way, obscuring its true burden as well as the need for an integrated policy response. David Finkelhor, a longtime authority on child victimization and director of the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire, uses this book to propose and advocate for such a comprehensive and integrated perspective, one he terms 'developmental victimology.' Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers will appreciate this sweeping treatment of an under-researched phenomenon that has far-reaching implications for how we respond to violence across the lifespan.
