The International Review of Victimology is a triannual peer-reviewed academic journal that covers the field of victimology.^[1] The editor-in-chief is Joanna Shapland (University of Sheffield) and the editors are Edna Erez (University of Illinois at Chicago), Matthew Hall (Sheffield University), Leslie Sebba (The Hebrew University) and Jo-Anne Wemmers (Université de Montréal). It was established in 1989 and is currently published by SAGE Publications.

The Journal focuses upon traditional areas of victimological research, such as offender typologies, victim-offender Relationship, victimization surveys, victim compensation, the victim in the criminal justice system, reparation and restitution by offenders and crime prevention for victims.^[1] The International Review of Victimology also looks at "broader theoretical issues such as definitions of victimization and the philosophy of victimology".^[1] This in turn opens the door to the consideration of political and human rights issues, including victims of war crimes, and contribution with a comparative perspective.^[1] Occasionally, there are special issues dealing with specific topics. Each issue contains reviews of relevant books.
