About the course

  • Course information

    Welcome to the course Victimology 2025!

    I am very excited to welcome you to the course Victimology. The course offers a platform for discussing questions such as the concept of victimization, i.e. who is defined as a crime victim, what needs of support and protection victims are understood to have and how society can offer such support and protection. This will be done by up-to-date examples in different victimological areas. The course provides interdisciplinary knowledge about victimization from a legal perspective, with behavioral and social elements.

    The first class for the spring semester of 2025 will be on the 25th of March, time and place will be announced at a later stage.

    The course will contain of weekly lectures and mandatory seminars. For each seminar you will be handing in a written short paper on a specific topic. The course will be examined through active participation of the seminars and an examining paper at the end.

    In matters regarding the schedule, syllabus, readings etc., please contact the head of the course, Karin Åström, at e-mail karin.astrom@umu.se

    Once again welcome!
