This course doubles as both a course offered by Lamar (CRIJ 4313/5340) and a post-graduate course on Victimology, Victim Assistance, and Criminal Justice hosted by the Inter University Centre Dubrovnik in affiliation with the World Society of Victimology . I will earn 3 hours toward graduate degree  and a post-graduate certificate.

The course lectures cover the areas of the theory and history of victimology; U.N. declarations and victim activities; restorative justice; human trafficking victims; victims in various criminal justice systems; victimization of women; victim compensation and restitution; crisis and crisis intervention; refugees as victims; and much more.
