    Intersectionality And Gender Analysis

    According to Uwujaren and Utt (2015), intersectionality is the connected nature of race, class and gender. These categories apply to any individual or group and are interdependent systems of oppression and discrimination (p.2). By applying an intersectional view to men and women, we can see that race and normative femininity both play large roles in how people are treated when they are victims or offenders of crime. Chann and Chunn (2014) state that racialized men and women are assumed to be more likely to commit crimes and less likely to be viewed as “real victims” compared to white men and women. That being said, the concepts of intersectionality, racialization and normatively femininity are apparent in the media attention to the cases of…

    Nils Christie: The Ideal Victim

    Nils Christie (1986) referred to ‘the ideal victim’ as someone who is blameless and innocent in the eyes of society and the media; someone who plays no part in their victimization, as opposed to someone who is a ‘blameworthy’ victim; a person whose actions play a part in their victimization. Characteristics of an ideal victim include someone vulnerable, weak, and going about their daily routine and being unacquainted with the offender. If a blameworthy victim had done something differently, they could've prevented their victimization. They are also blamed if their actions may have provoked the offender, thus causing the victimization. This causes a shift of responsibility and blame from the offender to the victim.…

The greatest development of victimology; which is the study of victimization, started in the 1960’s and continued till the 70’s. It started with the women movement in the early 1960’s which focused on supporting women and children who have been victimized by a male-dominated justice system. The next movement is the law and order movement which is considered the milestone of victimology because it brought about the victimization surveys and victim services.…

    Era Of Disenfranchisement Essay

    This essay will explore reasons as to why the participation of victims may cause hostility and emotional strain in a present day court proceeding. Victims have little to no say in the misdemeanours and unlawful acts that have been conflicted on them and/or their family members if the victim has passed due to the offence. Some of the grounds that have been observed in the present day criminal justice system are the emotional tones and word used in the Victim Impact Statement. (VIS). Also being discussed, the ‘era of disenfranchisement’ that is slowly but surely being forced out of criminal legal proceedings.…

    Theories Of A Hate Crime

    When it comes to a crime, deciding if the crime was caused by a bias-motivated offender can be a challenge. Hate crime laws can be enacted but arguments arise do to the fact that many disagree on the laws and how they may violate a persons’ first and fourteenth amendment rights (Gerstenfield, 2013). If a crime is classified as a hate crime, because the offender decided to harm a victim due to the victim’s race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or other characteristics than a penalty enhancement can be made. A hate crime is known to have the element of motive in order to have the crime be identified as an actually hate crime (Gerstenfield, 2013) but the motive needs to be acted upon in order for it to be a hate crime. It is…

    The Neutralization Theory

    The theory that is best applied to the criminal problem of child abuse is the Neutralization Theory. While several abusers were once abused themselves, which would point to the Differential Association theory, those who have chosen to engage in this behavior have come to psychologically justify what the acts the are committing. The Neutralization theory describes how these people justify it to themselves. An abuser may deny responsibility of the act itself by blaming their abuse on a work-rated problem by saying something such as: “I was stressed from work, so I wasn’t in the right mindset when I came home.” A person confronted with charges for child abuse my say that their victim only has a few bruises, so what they did wasn’t really wrong.…

    Victim Blaming Vs Victimology

    Although criminology has a longer history then victimology, there is one similarity when looking at victim blaming and victim defending (Karmen, 2015). There can be very passionate and heated arguments over which side are considered righteous (Karmen, 2015). To make matters worse, it is largely based on a person’s ideology, which can actually cause even more of a difference of opinion depending on the type of crime and circumstances surrounding it (Karmen, 2015). This means in some cases, one would side with victim blaming, and another case they would side with victim defending. Although this conflict still exists between both victim blaming and victim defending, more and more, victimologists are showing a trend of siding with victim defending (Karmen, 2015).…

    Essay On Police Victimization

    If you attempt to Google “victimization of those that work in the system”, the first thing that is going to come up is someone else asking, “Can police officers be victimized?” Needless to say, I felt that the Internet could not help me, so if this makes no sense, I apologize. Anyways, I thought about that question on Google that had a seemingly obvious answer. Those who work in the system are only human, meaning that of course, they can be victimized. If we look at them just as people, the list of types of victimization could be never ending.…

    Case Study: Victim Precipitation Theory

    Victim Precipitation Theory Jacob N Zucker Grantham University CJ102 Victim Precipitation Theory is the view that victims may initiate, either actively or passively, the confrontation that leads to their victimization (Siegel, 2014, p. 67). Active precipitation occurs when victims act provocatively, use threats or fighting words, or even attack first, resulting in their victimization (Siegel, 2014, p. 67). Passive precipitation is personal or social characteristics of victims that make them attractive to criminals; such victims may unknowingly either threaten or encourage their attackers (Siegel, 2014, p. 68). A case study and example of passive precipitation is the case of the murder of Bud and June Runion in January…
