Description

Are deviants primarily victims or victimizers? MacNamara focuses on an area of overlap between victimology and the study of deviance. Deviants studied are homosexuals, drug abusers, prostitutes, members of religious cults, ex-mental patients, and prisoners; while victimizations include physical, emotional, economic, and social. Controversial and provocative, it is an ideal text for courses in criminology and social problems.
