Description
615 answered practice questions for your victimology Text/Reader exams
If your victimology class uses Daigle’s Text/Reader, this test bank gives you 615 practice questions with answers for all 14 chapters, from the history of the victims’ rights movement to hate crime, human trafficking and terrorism. Every answer names the heading in the textbook where the point is covered, such as “Marvin Wolfgang” or “The Police Response”, so a question you miss tells you which pages to go back to before the exam. Try the 10 sample practice questions below; they cover Chapter 2 topics on measuring victimization and explaining who is victimized.

Victimology: A Comprehensive Approach (Daigle and Muftić)
A separate textbook with 13 chapters, including a chapter on the victim and offender overlap. SAGE lists it as the next title after the Text/Reader, but it is a different book and this test bank does not cover it.
Victimology: The Essentials (Daigle)
The shorter Essentials textbook, in its 2nd and 3rd editions, is also a different book. Check that your cover says A Text/Reader.
Victimology: A Text/Reader, 1st edition (2012)
ISBN 9781412987325. This test bank was made for the 2nd edition, which added new sections and replaced over a third of the readings.
What the 615 answers can do for your victimology exams
- Go back to the right pages. The answers point to 269 different headings in the textbook, from “Hans von Hentig” in Chapter 1 to “Responses to Victims of Terrorism” in Chapter 14. All of them are in the textbook’s own section text, not in the journal readings, so you know which part of the book the practice is built on.
- Get the names, laws and numbers right. 532 of the 615 practice questions are labelled knowledge questions: who coined a term, which survey measures what, which experiment tested arrest for intimate partner violence, which state opened the first shelter. These are the facts a victimology exam can ask you to tell apart.
- Practice written answers too. Each chapter has 3 to 5 essay prompts with a model answer, 55 in all, for example explaining the difference between excusable, justifiable and criminal homicide in Chapter 6. You can write your own answer first and then compare.
- Know how hard each question is. Every question carries a difficulty label from the file: 476 easy, 130 medium and 8 hard.
