The authors discuss the research that scholars have conducted to illuminate the origins and extent of this controversial issue as well as what can be done to prevent it. Students and other interested readers learn about the nature of victimization while simultaneously gaining an understanding of the ways in which criminologists, victimologists, and social scientists conduct research that informs theory and policy debates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides detailed information about sexual victimization on college campuses today\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces broad lessons about the interactions of ideology, science and methodology, and public policy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrates current data, research, and theory, based on the authors' national studies of more than 8,000 randomly selected female college students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntended Audience\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis supplemental text is ideal for courses such as Sex Crimes, Violence and Abuse, Victimology, Gender and Crime, Sociology of Violence, Sociology of Women, and the Sociology of Sex and Gender in departments of criminology, criminal justice, sociology, and women's studies.
