What is the main goal of victimology?

Victimology is the scientific study of victimization, including the relationships between victims and offenders, the interactions between victims and the criminal justice system (the police and courts and corrections officials), and the connections between victims and other social groups & institutions, such as the media, businesses, and social movements. Victimology is not restricted to the study of victims of crime but may include human rights violations that are not necessarily crime.

The main goal of victimology is to study victims of crimes or human rights violations in order to prevent these things from happening as much as they currently do.
