  Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 F 80 A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION   Defining Characteristics Victimology. The victim of a disorganized offender may be known to the offender since he often selects a victim of opportunity near his residence or employment. The victim is often from his own geographical area because this offender acts impulsively under stress and also because he derives confidence from familiar surroundings to bolster his feelings of social inadequacy. If there are multiple victims of a disorganized offender, the age, sex, and other characteristics will show greater variance due to the more random nature of his selection process.

  Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 C 80 A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION   From this point on until the murder, everyone noticed the change in Torran’s attitude. He began to miss school. His grandmother noticed he now had a blank look in his eyes. The statement that seemed to best describe Torran’s state of mind was found on the side of a cup holder his grandmother saw him use: “Pardon me, but you’ve obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a damn.” Torran’s conversation reflected his plans. He spoke to classmates and close friends about killing his mother and even showed one the noose that he had made. Torran’s indiscretion concerning his crime is reflective of his immaturity.

  Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 B 80 A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES SECOND EDITION   There are occupations, shifts, and environments that elevate a victim’s risk factor.

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.

The victim of product tampering may be random or specific, dependent on the product’s distribution, the product’s use, and the offender strategy. Sabotaged baby food, brake lines, and soft drinks will involve a particular age group or class of people. Some sabotaged products will be distributed only on a local scale, so the victimology will be more confined.

Random victimology is likely to be seen with extortion or with intent to damage a competitor.
