Question

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. (15[1])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. (10[1])For 10 points, identify this kind of person subjected to a crime. ■END■ (10[1])

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”]
