Kristen Costa’s
chances of becoming a victim of a violent crime were reduced by her warm family
relationship, minimal use of alcohol, and self- imposed dating restrictions.
Her lifestyle reinforced this low-risk status. She lived at home, and because
of her age and parental control, her socialization was restricted to places
that would be considered low-risk environments (the church parking lot, which
was the local hangout, and friends’ homes, for example) as opposed to bars and
nightclubs. She had reportedly experimented once with cocaine and once with
marijuana, but this isolated use was not a factor when considering the attack.
