ABSTRACT

Introduction As the fields of state crime and victimology mature and grow, it is more important than ever to consider how victims and offenders differ from one type of crime and circumstance to the next. Traditional victimological analysis was developed well prior to the point in time that state crime studies became a major subfield of the study of white-collar crime. Both state crime scholars and victimologists have much to learn from one another, and in this chapter we develop some ideas to further explore and encourage this intellectual connection between the fields.
