STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES
SECOND
EDITION
There are
occupations, shifts, and environments that elevate a victim’s risk factor.
Working the night shift alone at a twenty-four-hour gas station or convenience
store is one example. This situation elevates the chance of a person becoming a
victim of felony murder (indiscriminate or situational) compared to the
department store clerk who works days. Environmental factors that elevate
victim risk factor are locations within high crime areas, working in
establishments that enhance crime commission (views obstructed by advertising
or product shelves, poorly lit, no alarms or intercom systems linking them to
local law enforcement stations, one clerk staffing, especially at night), and
establishments with cash readily available, such as liquor stores.
