  • What is victimology? To search for a valid, universal definition of this relatively new term is an exercise in futility! Is victimology a scientific discipline? Is it an academic field? Is it a scholarly and research endeavor? Is it a helping profession? A social movement? A humanitarian crusade? Is it about criminal justice reform? Is it an advocacy/partisan enterprise? Is it a political campaign? Is it an action plan? Is it a neutral undertaking?Yes, what exactly is victimology? Contrary to other social sciences whose subject-matter can be easily grasped from the title, victimology seems to denote different things to different observers. For obvious reasons, defining victimology is way beyond the scope of this essay.
