Description acceptable. A paper titled for the “ideal” type of these people opens with an anecdote about a race between a Swedish champion runner and the author Nils Christie. These people title a 1978 paper by Hindelang, Gottfredson, and Garofalo that introduced lifestyle-exposure theory. These people are the subject of a three-word phrase that titles psychologist William Ryan’s response to the Moynihan Report. Modern sociologists often study these people’s namesake “facilitation” rather than thirteen characteristics that Hans von Hentig identified as contributing to one’s (*) “proneness” to becoming one of these people. These people, whose rights are the subject of Marsy’s Law, may issue a namesake impact statement. The “just-world fallacy” attempts to rationalize suffering by “blaming” this kind of person. For 10 points, identify this kind of person subjected to a crime. ■END■
ANSWER: victims of crime [or survivors of crime; or targets of criminals; accept descriptions of people on the receiving end of any type of crime; accept victim blaming or “blaming the victim”; accept a victim impact statement; accept “victim-proneness” or victim facilitation; accept “Victims of Personal Crime”; accept “The Ideal Victim”]
