1.Benjamin Mendelsohn, a pioneer in victimology, argued that by only examining the outcome of a criminal event can blur the lines of who the real victim is and who the real offender is; therefore, it is necessary to examine the dynamics that surround the event to determine whether or not the victim in any way contributed to his or her own victimization. 2.Hans von Hentig, a pioneer in victimology, focused on what is called functional responsibility—that is the role victims play in not provoking others into victimizing or harming them—and argued that victims should also do everything possible to prevent victimization from occurring. 3.Victim blaming impacts the way information and decisions are made, how innocence and guilt are evaluated, and has been used to justify behavior. 4.Surveys such as the National Crime Victim Survey, the British Crime Survey and the International Crime Victim Survey was developed and conducted on a regular basis to collect data on victimization because of police reports showing victim blaming was being used to justify criminal behavior. 5.The Opportunity Model, the Routine Activity Theory, and the Lifestyle-Exposure Theory all have been used to describe variables that are said to influence the potential probability of victimization.
