Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 F 53

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.
