Victimization Crime Prevention

123 Words1 Page

Rhonda, I enjoyed reading your discussion piece and found it very informative. I agree with the fact that victimization prevention and crime prevention work hand in hand with one another. Both are critical aspects of our criminal justice system and involve many strategies centered on prevention. Crime prevention strategies require society to engage in collaborated efforts in order to eradicate social roots associated with lawbreaking behaviors. Otherwise, victimization prevention can involve an individual’s risk assessment; it can also expand to a formal organization like our schools, church groups, or even neighborhood watch groups. Overall, both can work in conjunction with each other or independently against criminal engagements. Reference:

    In the article “The Crime Bust” by Gordon Witkin, it is introduced that in 1994, after a 9 year soar in crime rates, they began falling (1). According to preliminary figures released by the FBI, all across the board, the amount of crime committals were declining at a drastic rate. (Witkin 1). To determine the source of this sudden decline, several factors were examined, such as the economy, dismissed as “Robbery and burglary fluctuate with economic conditions--but murders generally do not…” (Witkin, 1-2) Prevention and domestic abuse were also discredited since “Studies show that prevention programs don’t work, and others may or may not be effective…” and “...in 1996, there were only 447 fewer ‘domestics’ than in 1993, accounting for just 9 percent of the murder reduction.”

  • SOC 150: Class Analysis

    The five most important things I have learned throughout my semester in SOC 150 are about crime and perception of social problems, how fines and fees keep people in jails, about mobility and poverty, sexual assault on college campuses, and lastly about the school-to-prison pipeline. During our unit on crime I learned about the perception of a social problem in different parts of the country as well as to a single individual. The two readings about crime, “Crime Rates Have Plummeted” and “U.S. Crime Is Up but Americans Don’t Seem to Have Noticed” demonstrate that crime is a social problem to be interpreted differentially based on the person perceiving the problem. What happens with crime is that crime is more likely to be thought of as a social problem based on what the media is reporting. The media will broadcast the

  • Vulnerable Victim Enhancement Analysis

    1039 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Guidelines Manual states that if the defendant knew or should have known that a victim of the offense was a vulnerable victim, the defendant’s sentence will increase. The Guidelines define a vulnerable victim as a victim who is unusually vulnerable due to age, physical or mental condition, or who is otherwise particularly susceptible to the criminal conduct. The Commentary instructs that the vulnerable victim enhancement should not be applied if the factor that makes the person a vulnerable victim is already incorporated in the offense guideline. It explains that if the underlying offense guideline provides a separate enhancement for the age of the victim, the vulnerable victim enhancement would not be applied unless the victim was unusually vulnerable for reasons unrelated to age.

    Hate Crime is a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” If an African American commits the same crime as an Caucasian it is more likely for the black person to be charged and arrested due to the racial issues we have today. There are many pros and cons towards the issue of racial crime, but hate crime is still a very difficult issue for our country to overcome. In order to overcome the issue of hate crime it would require changing legislation, public and police attitudes.

    Problem oriented policing is a combination of law enforcement and social work (Jackson, 2016). This combination approach helps police officers to identify problems, analyze then, and determine the underlying cause. Identifying and addressing the root cause of crime is the goal of problem-oriented policing (Roufa, 2017). The SARA model is used to help officers with this method of modern policing. Problem oriented policing and the SARA model are used to proactively prevent crime, vs simply reacting to it.

    Do victim precipitation theories mean victim blaming? Explain and evaluate. 1.0 Introduction of victim precipitation Victim precipitation theories generally involve an explanation of how an individual’s behavior may contribute to his or her own victimization. In future the victim precipitation is behavior by a victim that initiates subsequent behavior of the victimizer and the degree to which victim is responsible for own victimization Early attempts at studying victim behavior involved the development of typologies that allowed victimol-ogists to determine who was most responsible for the criminal incident offender or victim. For instance, Wolfgang first introduced the formal concept of victim precipitation in his seminal work on homicide in 1958 when he argued that, in some instances, the victim may initiate the behavior of the victimizer .

This theory emphasizes that criminal victimization follows those who do not use their intelligence and rational thought in the social environments (Lifestyle, 2011). Empirical evidence has shown that risky lifestyle activities, such as drinking, using drugs, and frequenting bars or clubs, may put individuals, particularly women, at a higher risk of victimization (Henson, Wilcox, Reyns, & Cullen,
