Farrell and Pease's important book retells the concept's intellectual history, demonstrates the phenomenon's pervasiveness, and documents its usefulness in formulating prevention policies. This provocative, path breaking book should become a staple in criminology teaching and research' Michael Tonry, Director, Institute of CriminologyUniversity of Cambridge This important book analyses findings on repeat victimization, and explores their implications for prevention policy. Topics include: why repeat victimization matters, a cross-national comparison of repeat victimization rates, attitudes of repeat victims towards the police; repeat burglary victimization, detection opportunities and offender targeting, implications for crime control policy and problem-oriented policing.
