CONT

Si la notion de victime d'un acte criminel est relativement nouvelle, la victimologie est encore plus récente [...] La victimologie, d'après Mendelsohn, est le contraire de la criminologie. Au lieu d'étudier les criminels et les crimes, elle porte sur les victimes et la victimisation. [...] l'objectif premier de la victimologie est la prévention par l'éducation.
