A STANDARD
SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION
A victim’s
attitude toward safety is also a fac- tor that can raise or lower his or her
risk factor. A naive, overly trusting, or careless stance concerning personal
safety can increase one’s chance of being victimized.
The second
facet of victim risk is in the level of gamble the offender takes to commit the
crime. Generally, the victim is at a lower risk level if the crime scene is
indoors and at a higher risk level if it is outdoors. The time of day that the
crime occurs also contributes to the amount of risk the offender took: an
abduction at noon would pose more hazard to the offender than at midnight.
