{"product_id":"the-politics-of-victimization","title":"The Politics of Victimization","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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robert Elias","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43576673959997,"sku":"9780195039818","price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/the-politics-of-victimization","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
