Defining
Characteristics
Victimology. The
victim of product tampering may be random or specific, dependent on the
product’s distribution, the product’s use, and the offender strategy. Sabotaged
baby food, brake lines, and soft drinks will involve a particular age group or
class of people. Some sabotaged products will be distributed only on a local
scale, so the victimology will be more confined. The localization of victims can
also help establish whether the product is being tampered with at a retail
stage or at the manufacturer’s level. Random victimology is likely to be seen
with extortion or with intent to damage a competitor.
