{"product_id":"politics-of-victimization-the","title":"Politics of Victimization, The","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\n\u003cbr\u003edefinition 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\n\u003cbr\u003eproposes 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":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44156638822638,"sku":"9780195039818","price":199.04,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/politics-of-victimization-the","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
