    Victimization theories Decades ago, victims of crime were considered to be in a wrong place at a wrong time whenever they became victims of crime. However, theories today explain that an individual can be the reason for the crime himself or herself. Prior literature and research studies developed theories of victimization that explain the relationship between victims and the criminal act. Studies showed that victims could also play a part in the crime (Degarmo, 2011). For instance, lifestyle theory argues that there are certain lifestyle exposures that increase criminal offenses while there are other lifestyle exposures that reduce criminal offenses.…
