Whiteboards

Write down the characteristics that you believe a ‘typical’ victim of crime may have...

...(e.g. What characteristics make someone more likely to be a victim?)Slide4

According to Lea & Young (1984):

Black, working class young men are the most likely to be victims of crime.

They are victims of the actions of other black, working class people.

They are also victims of racist practices by the police.Slide5

Myths about VictimsSlide6

Whiteboards

Now on your boards write down three potential consequences of being a victim of crime. Try to identify one for each of the following

:

Physical consequences

Psychological consequences

Social consequencesSlide7

Studies on Consequences

Maguire (1994)

Asked victims of burglaries what was the worst aspect of the experience: Only 32% said it was the loss of belongings.

Shapland

(1984)

75% of victims of assault/violence still express concerns about the incident two and half years later.

Morris (1987)

Victims of child abuse often continue to suffer shame and guilt as adults.Slide8
