Introduction to Forensic Criminology and Victimology

Forensic victimology is the idiographic and nomothetic study of violent crime victims for the purposes of addressing investigation and forensic issues. Forensic victimology objectively studies victims, with a focus on impartially and completely describing all aspects of their life and lifestyle in order to gain a better understanding of how they came to be victimized, how the crime took place, and their relationship with the offender. The purpose of forensic victimology is aimed to accurately, critically, and objectively describe the victim to better understand victims, crime, criminals, and forensic issues. Forensic victimology is an applied discipline, intended to be employed as an objective scientific practice.
