Description: "Challenging Notions: Critical Victimology in Canada is a ground-breaking work that explores the world of victims and asks how victims are defined and understood. Dr. Landau demonstrates that the study of victimology raises many challenging intellectual and practical issues, such as the relationship between the victim and the state, the inherently moral dimensions of victim status, and the influence of various forms of social inequality on our understanding of, and response to, victimization."--BOOK JACKET.
