Review

'repeat victimization has become a central idea in research and policy in many countries. 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 Criminology University of Cambridge
