Being Criminally VictimizedWertz, F. J. (1979, January). Method and findings in a phenomenological psychological study of a complex life-event: Being criminally victimized. Duquesne Studies in Phenomenological Psychology.
This study of criminal victimization is an example of a descriptive phenomenological study. The phenomenological approach serves the purpose of an ontological clarification of the concept of criminal victimization. The study is seminal and found in different handbooks as an example of an applied phenomenological study. The idea is to clarify the experiential content that underpins the concepts we use in psychology, sociology, and education to develop and revise the dimensionality of said concepts.
