Thoroughly discuss how the field of victimology evolved over time, and what
pivotal historical events or movements have significantly
The Evolving Landscape of Victimology: From Neglect to Advocacy
Victimology, the scientific study of crime victims, has undergone a remarkable

victimization on victims themselves, sparking criticism and a gradual shift in the
field's direction.
