Deļ¬ning Characteristics
Victimology. There
is a high incidence of victims of this crime to be young adult, blue-collar or
unemployed, and with a low education level. The offender is known to the
victim. The victim commonly has a history of assaultive behavior and of using
violence to resolve his problems.
An exception to
this victimology is the person who has the misfortune to cross paths and ignite
the volatile, impulsive offender who is predisposed to violent eruptions. The
precipitating event is often a trivial incident, such as pulling in front of
someone on the freeway.
