Understanding victims
Understanding victims often requires categorizing them by common
characteristics (e.g., location, social patterns, etc.). Select three different
characteristics by which victims may be categorized.
Define the unique characteristics that make a victim a
member of each group. Compare and contrast the factors that are used to group
these types of victims together.
Discuss how grouping victims into these unique groups
assists criminology researchers in understanding deviance from the perspective
of those directly impacted by crime.
