Today we spent time looking at the Risk Factors associated with victims:
Age: 15-24 year olds have the highest level of victimization
Gender: some level but different types of crimes
Marital Status: Singles face risk of assault, robbery and other crimes against a person
Residence: Urban
Income: Less than $15000 the greater likelihood of being a victim
Season: summer
Relationships: 50% of victimization happens in the home.
Also we discussed the Vicimization of the most vulnerable in society....Wally Opal and his recent recommendations in regards to the Missing Women's Inquiry.
Finally the students researched what resources are available to victims through Victim Services.
