Good afternoon, friends. Please join me today at 4pm, cst, to discuss victimization.

Have you been the victim of a crime? Did you report it?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
We will be touching on theories of victimization & violence. Traditionally, criminology has focused on sociological and psychological theories to explain crime and criminality.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
Why has Criminal Justice previously neglected understanding the viewpoints of victims?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
This is often difficult topic because we are reluctant to 'blame the victim' but we will look at situational crime prevention, theories of victimization, and lifestyle theories

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
THINKING CHALLENGE: Of the following groups, who is the mostly likely to be victimized?

In this important @TEDTalks, Ione Wells discusses the concept of victim blaming in regards to how we discuss sexual assault online

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
THINKING CHALLENGE: What are common reasons that many victims do not report the crimes committed against them?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
Environmental criminology examines the location of a specific crime and the context in which it occurred in order to understand and explain crime patterns.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
David Weisburd, director of the Center for Evidence-based Crime Policy at George Mason University, explains the link between crime and location @GeorgeMasonU



#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
THINKING CHALLENGE: Are some locations just more susceptible to crime occurring?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
THINKING CHALLENGE: Are some people just criminally motivated?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
Environmental criminology begins with the assumption that some people are criminally motivated.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
The rational-choice perspective assumes that people make decisions with a goal in mind and that they are made more or less intelligently and with free will.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
THINKING CHALLENGE: Do human beings have free will?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
'Hey Bill Nye, Do Humans Have Free Will?'

#TuesdaysWithBill #CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
When a suitable target that is unguarded comes together in time and space with a likely offender who is not “handled,” the potential for a crime is there. This explanation is called the routine-activity approach.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
THINKING CHALLENGE: You come home to find your sweetie-pie in the arms of another, what is your immediate reaction?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
You come home to find your sweetie-pie in the arms of another, what is your immediate reaction? #Emotionality #Rationality #CrimeOfPassion

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
THINKING CHALLENGE: Do human beings have the ability to completely control their myriad of emotions?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
The trio of approaches:
~ environmental criminology,
~ rational choice,
~ and routine activities
often work together to explain why a person may commit a crime in a particular situation.

The #9PMRoutine is a great policy example of how police departments rely on citizens to prevent their own victimization

Does YOUR department promote the @9PMRoutine1?

If so, give them a shout-out

The #9PMRoutine is a great policy example of how police departments rely on citizens to prevent their own victimization

Have you remembered to lock up because of the #9PMRoutine?

Do you believe programs like this can reduce crime?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
Although the victim is mentioned in many theories of crime, direct consideration of the role that victims play in the criminal event has been of secondary significance

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
A “lifestyle theory of victimization” argues that because of changing roles, working mother versus homemaker, & schedules, a child’s school calendar, people lead different lifestyles.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
THINKING CHALLENGE: Are there aspects of your lifestyle that might make you more vulnerable to crime?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
Variations in lifestyle affect the number of situations with high victimization risks that a person experiences.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
Both the lifestyle theory of victimization and the routine-activity approach, presents some basic guidelines for reducing one’s chances of victimization.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
Lifestyle exposure theory posits that persons with certain demographic profiles are more prone to experience criminal victimization because their lifestyles expose risky situations

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
THINKING CHALLENGE: What demographic profile may make someone more prone to crime?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
Marvin Wolfgang coined the term “victim precipitation” to refer to situations where victims initiate the confrontations that lead to their death

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
THINKING CHALLENGE: Have you ever acted in a way that, in hindsight, definitely increased the severity of the interaction/event?

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
In 1989, Lawrence Sherman, Patrick Gartin, and Michael Buerger found that certain types of crimes were committed in specific places—for example, all auto thefts at two percent of all places.

The “i” In victim? | Rapheal Mitchell | @TEDxMarionCorrection



#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
A large amount of crime occurs at a small number of places, and that such places have distinct characteristics, has led criminologists to explain crime in terms not only of who commits it, but also of where it is committed.

Focus on Places, Not People, to Prevent Crime | Joel Caplan | @TEDxStocktonU



#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
Situational crime prevention seeks to protect places, people, and valuable goods from victimization

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
Crime-prevention strategists have demonstrated that displacement—the commission of a quantitatively similar crime at a different time or place—does not always follow.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization Image
Worthy of consideration is the fact that displacement can have positive as well as negative effects. These effects can take several forms:

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization ImageImage
To examine the interconnectedness of lifestyle, victimization, and violence we always watch the 2003 film, #MysticRiver in class

I loved using street art to emphasis some of the theories.

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
Let's conclude with some Myth V. Reality when it comes to one of our lesser understood types of victimization, sexual victimization ...

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
“Most sexual assaults are committed by strangers.”

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
“Most sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim or the victim’s family,.”

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
“The majority of sexual offenders are caught, convicted, and in prison.”

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
“Most convicted sex offenders eventually are released to the community under probation or parole supervision”

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
““Sexual offense rates are higher than ever and continue to climb.”

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
“All sex offenders are male.”

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
“Sex offenders commit sexual crimes because they are under the influence of alcohol.”

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
“Children who are sexually assaulted will sexually assault others when they grow up.”

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
"Most sex offenders were not sexually assaulted as children and most children who are sexually assaulted do not sexually assault others"

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
“Treatment for sex offenders is ineffective.”

#CRJ105 #MoraineValley #Victimization
THINKING CHALLENGE: In our discussion today, which theory of victimization makes the most sense to you?
