This text explores the intersection of public health, victimology, and criminal justice by examining how victimization impacts individuals and communities in the United States. It begins with the historical development of public health and uses an ecological perspective to understand health outcomes within broader social and environmental contexts. The text then introduces victimology, focusing on how victimization occurs, its prevalence, and its effects on physical and mental health. The book also addresses major forms of victimization such as homicide, intimate partner violence, child abuse, sexual victimization, elder abuse, and hate crimes. It concludes by considering the relationship between victimization and public health and offering recommendations for addressing future challenges in protecting victims and improving health outcomes.
