Criminology and Victimology - International Perspectives elucidates the practical contributions, engagements, focal areas, and applications of expertise, knowledge, and skills by criminologists and victimologists in practice, thereby extending towards an invaluable enhancement of intellectually enriching multidisciplinary fields within the realms of human and social sciences, the criminal justice system, and both the formal and informal sectors of society. This book highlights the role and contributions of criminologists in formulating pre-sentence reports for the judiciary and informing sentencing decisions. It also highlights the acumen and capabilities of rural criminologists, along with their analytical endeavors and initiatives concerning rural environments, as well as the risks and victimization of livestock. Profound insights can be derived from criminological and victimological assessments of sexual and gender minority men (SGMM), including individuals from the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community, who face victimization and stigma within correctional contexts. Sociological inquiries from Montenegro unveil critical risk factors associated with juvenile offenders, correlating these risks with unstable family dynamics and exposure, thereby illuminating the offender-victim nexus and applying practical skills concerning these individuals. In Iran, criminology and victimology remain heavily reliant on criminal law, which stifles the professionalization and career prospects within the judicial sphere, thereby accentuating the necessity for advancing criminology and victimology as autonomous disciplines with tangible career trajectories. They are frequently subject to misapprehension. This book, Criminology and Victimology - International Practices, endeavors to elucidate the academic and theoretical frameworks that have evolved into a compelling and pragmatic application of knowledge and expertise. It entails that while firmly anchored in scientific theories, principles, and research, the fields of criminology and victimology have matured to furnish invaluable and pragmatic insights and contributions to multidisciplinary teams.
