Repeat victimization has become increasingly recognized as a topic of central importance in both criminological research and crime prevention policy. According to the editors’ introduction by Graham Farrell and Ken Pease: “There is much mileage left in repeat victimization as a topic of criminological interest and crime control attention…. It is not inconceivable that a new wave of victim-oriented policing could result.” The 12 original studies in this volume include: "Why Repeat Victimization Matters," by Farrell and Pease; "A Cross-National Comparison of Rates of Repeat Victimization," by Farrell and Adam Bouloukos; "Attitudes of Victims and Repeat Victims toward the Police: Results of the International Crime Victims Survey," by Jan van Dijk; "Repeat Burglary Victimisation: Results of Empirical Research in the Netherlands," by Edward Kleemans; "The Impact of Repeat Victimisation on Burglary Victims in East and West Europe," by R. I. Mawby; "Repeat Burglary in a Perth Suburb: Indicator of Short-Term or Long-Term Risk?" by Frank Morgan; "Explaining Repeat Residential Burglaries: An Analysis of Property Stolen," by Ronald V. Clarke, Elizabeth Perkins and Donald J. Smith; "Personal Fraud," by Richard Titus and Angela Gover; "Repeated Bank Robbery: Theme and Variations," by Roger Matthews, Catherine Pease and Ken Pease; "Time Heals All Wounds?" by Mandy Shaw; "Crime Against the Same Person and Place: Detection Opportunity and Offender Targeting," by Steve Everson and Ken Pease; "Repeat Victimization and Hot-Spots: The Overlap and its Implications for Crime Control and Problem-Oriented Policing," by Farrell and William Sousa; and "Victim Careers and 'Career Victims'?: Toward a Research Agenda," by Farrell, Andromachi Tseloni, Brian Wiersema and Ken Pease.

"Repeat victimization is an idea whose time has come. From the first exploratory studies in a single English neighborhood just a decade ago, 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 phenonmenon's pervasiveness, and documents it usefulness in formulating prevention policies. This provocative, path-breaking book should become a staple in criminology teaching and research." Dr. Michael Tonry Director, Institute of Criminology University of Cambridge.

More praise for Repeat Victimization comes from the July/August 2001 issue of Crime and Justice International: "The book offers a wealth of information for researchers, but will also be of specific interest to practitioners, especially investigators..."

Dick Ward, in The Literature of Criminal Justice 1998-2001 writes: "The book offers a wealth of information for researchers, but will also be of specific interest to practitioners, especially investigators, who have an interest in understanding various types of crime in which the victims are likely to be targeted more than once."

And, Brian Williams, Senior Research Fellow at DeMontfort University, writes about Repeat Victimization in the Howard Journal of Criminal Justice (February 2002): "Much of the research reported within it breaks new ground and the practical implications of some of it are enormous for the police but also for those working and volunteering in victim support agencies, probation, youth justice and social services."
