    Study Notes

    Hindelang, Gotfredson and Garofalo (1978) Model

    • Demographic characteristics closely related to victimization rates include age, gender, and socioeconomic status.
    • Risk of being victimized in public settings increases due to lack of guardianship and higher exposure to potential offenders.
    • Personality traits and individual behaviors can heighten the likeliness of victimization.

    Lifestyle/Exposure Model

    • Vulnerability to victimization is heightened for individuals with risky lifestyles, such as those engaging in night-time activities or frequenting high-crime areas.
    • Factors that can increase risk include substance abuse, social isolation, and lack of protective social relationships.

    Hindelang's Prerequisites for Victimization

    • Three prerequisites must be present for victimization to occur: an offender must be available, a suitable target must exist, and a lack of capable guardianship must be evident.

    Routine Activities Approach

    • Victimization requires three essential elements: a motivated offender, a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian.
    • The combination of these elements in time and space significantly influences the likelihood of being victimized.

    Opportunity Model

    • This model highlights the role of environmental factors, such as location and time of day, in determining the probability of victimization.
    • Elements that can influence victimization risk include accessibility of the target, visibility, and the presence of crime prevention measures.

    Differential Risk Model

    • Several factors influence the risk of being victimized, which may include demographic variables, lifestyle choices, and environmental contexts.
    • Specifics on the number of influential factors vary but emphasize the complexity of risk assessment in relation to victimization.
