What will be an ideal response?
Benjamin Mendelsohn had six levels of victim culpability when studying crime victims. The completely innocent victim—one who is not responsible at all for the offense, the victim with minor guilt—one who acts irresponsibly and places himself in harm’s way inadvertently, the victim who was as guilty as the offender or was a voluntary victim—a victim who is just as responsible as an offender for a crime, the victim who was MORE guilty than the offender—one who provokes an incident to occur, the most guilty victim—one who perpetrates a crime and is harmed in the process, and the simulating or imaginary victim—one who has not been victimized, but instead fabricates an incident.
