This consultation process allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the offender's circumstances, including their behavior, potential risks, and the potential for rehabilitation. It ensures that informed decisions are made regarding the appropriate course of action for the offender, taking into account the interests of both the individual and society.

    Which type of rape occurs when someone has sex with a person under the legal age of consent, even if that person may have verbally consented to the act?

    • Statutory rape

    • Drug- or alcohol-facilitated rape

    • Incapacitated rape

    • Forcible rape

    Correct Answer
    A. Statutory rape
    Explanation
    Statutory rape refers to the type of rape that occurs when someone engages in sexual activity with a person who is under the legal age of consent, even if the underage person may have verbally consented to the act. This is because the law recognizes that individuals under a certain age are not capable of giving informed consent due to their vulnerability and immaturity. Therefore, regardless of any verbal agreement, it is still considered a crime.

    • Robert Agnew

    • Hans von Hentig

    • Stephen Schafer

    Correct Answer
    A. Benjamin Mendelsohn
    Explanation
    Benjamin Mendelsohn is credited with coining the term "victimology." This field of study focuses on the scientific study of victims and their experiences within the criminal justice system. Mendelsohn's work in the 1940s and 1950s helped establish victimology as a distinct discipline, separate from criminology. His research and writings laid the foundation for understanding the impact of crime on victims and the importance of considering their perspectives in the criminal justice system.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    Which victimology theorist proposed that victims and offenders needed to be considered in a dyad (criminal-victim dyad) in order to fully understand victimization?

    • Hans von Hentig

    • Marvin Wolfgang

    • Stephen Schafer

    • Benjamin Mendelsohn

    Correct Answer
    A. Hans von Hentig
    Explanation
    Hans von Hentig proposed that victims and offenders needed to be considered in a dyad (criminal-victim dyad) in order to fully understand victimization. This means that the relationship between the victim and the offender should be taken into account when studying victimization. Von Hentig believed that certain characteristics of victims could make them more susceptible to becoming targets of crime, and that understanding these dynamics is crucial in preventing victimization. His work emphasized the importance of examining both the victim and the offender in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of victimization.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    What do we study today in Victimology?

    • The crime victim

    • The offender

    • The crime itself

    • The laws surrounding punishment of offender

    Correct Answer
    A. The crime victim
    Explanation
    Victimology is the study of crime victims, including their experiences, behaviors, and the impact of crime on their lives. It focuses on understanding the victim's perspective, their vulnerabilities, and the consequences of victimization. By studying the crime victim, researchers and practitioners aim to develop strategies for prevention, intervention, and support services to assist victims in their recovery process. This field of study does not primarily focus on the offender, the crime itself, or the laws surrounding punishment, but instead places emphasis on the individuals who have been victimized.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    How do victimologists determine who is more likely to be a victim today?

    • Look at official data (UCR)

    • Victimization surveys (NCVS)

    • Victimization is more prevalent than previously thought

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Victimologists determine who is more likely to be a victim today by considering all of the above methods. They look at official data from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system, which provides information on reported crimes. They also use victimization surveys such as the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), which collects data directly from individuals about their experiences as victims of crime. Additionally, victimologists recognize that victimization is more prevalent than previously thought, indicating that anyone could potentially be a victim. By considering all these sources of information, victimologists can gain a comprehensive understanding of who is more likely to be a victim today.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Who is the "typical" victim today?

    • Young male who lives in urban areas

    • Young female who lives in urban areas

    • Middle-aged male who lives in urban areas

    • Middle-aged female who lives in urban areas

    Correct Answer
    A. Young male who lives in urban areas
    Explanation
    The "typical" victim today is a young male who lives in urban areas. This is because research and crime statistics consistently show that young males are more likely to be victims of crime compared to other demographics. Factors such as their lifestyle, social interactions, and exposure to risky situations in urban areas contribute to their higher vulnerability.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Two of the most popular theories to explain victimization are _______ theory and _______ theory.

    • Routine activities; lifestyle

    • Social learning; structural

    • Routine activities; social learning

    • Subculture of violence; lifestyle

    Correct Answer
    A. Routine activities; lifestyle
    Explanation
    The correct answer is routine activities; lifestyle. Routine activities theory suggests that victimization occurs when there is a convergence of a motivated offender, a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian. Lifestyle theory, on the other hand, proposes that individuals with high-risk lifestyles, such as those involved in illegal activities or with a history of victimization, are more likely to become victims. Therefore, the combination of routine activities theory and lifestyle theory provides a comprehensive explanation for victimization.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Which of the following is a cost of victimization?

    • Mental health issues

    • Money spent by the CJS preventing and responding to crime

    • Fear of being a victim

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the options listed - mental health issues, money spent by the criminal justice system preventing and responding to crime, and fear of being a victim - can be considered costs of victimization. Mental health issues can arise as a result of being a victim of a crime, causing emotional and psychological distress. The criminal justice system also incurs costs in terms of resources and funds to prevent and respond to crime. Additionally, the fear of being a victim can have a significant impact on a person's well-being and quality of life. Therefore, all of these factors can be considered costs associated with victimization.

    • Repeat victimization

    • Revictimization

    • Near-repeat victimization

    • Poly-victimization

    • Poly-victimization

    • Near-repeat victimization

    • Repeat victimization

    • Revictimization 

    Correct Answer

    A home is burglarized in a neighborhood, and 6 months later, the house next door is burglarized. This is an example of ___________.

    • Near-repeat victimization

    • Poly-victimization

    • Repeat victimization

    • Revictimization

    Correct Answer
    A. Near-repeat victimization
    Explanation
    Near-repeat victimization refers to the occurrence of similar crimes in close proximity and within a short time frame. In this scenario, the fact that a house next door was burglarized 6 months after the initial burglary suggests a pattern of near-repeat victimization. The proximity and timing of the two incidents indicate that the second burglary may have been influenced by the previous one, making it an example of near-repeat victimization.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    Less than half of all victimizations are reported to the police.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Many victims of crimes choose not to report them to the police for various reasons. Some may fear retaliation or further harm, while others may feel that the police will not be able to do anything to help them. Additionally, some victims may not trust the criminal justice system or may believe that reporting the crime will not result in any meaningful action. As a result, it is estimated that less than half of all victimizations are actually reported to the police.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Incidents perpetrated by non-strangers were more likely to result in injury than those perpetrated by strangers

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement suggests that incidents involving people who are known to the victim are more likely to result in injury compared to incidents involving strangers. This could be because victims may let their guard down around people they know, making it easier for the perpetrator to cause harm. Additionally, familiarity with the victim's habits and vulnerabilities may give the perpetrator an advantage in inflicting injury. Therefore, the answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Most murder victims murdered by an acquaintance

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement "Most murder victims murdered by an acquaintance" is true. According to various studies and crime statistics, a significant percentage of murder victims are killed by someone they know, such as a friend, family member, or acquaintance. This is often referred to as "acquaintance murder" or "familicide." These cases can occur due to personal disputes, domestic violence, or other reasons. It is important to note that while stranger murders may receive more media attention, the majority of homicides involve individuals who are familiar to the victim.

  • 29. 

    Research shows that about 20–40% of the correlation between violent victimization and offending is due to shared genetic factors

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Research has found that a significant portion, approximately 20-40%, of the correlation between violent victimization and offending can be attributed to shared genetic factors. This suggests that individuals who are genetically predisposed to engage in violent behavior may also be more likely to become victims of violence. This finding highlights the complex interplay between genetics and environmental factors in shaping individuals' involvement in violent activities.

    • Offenders

    • Abusers

    • Victims

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. Victims
    Explanation
    Victimologists use the scientific method to answer questions about victims. They study various aspects of victimization, including the causes and consequences of victimization, the experiences of victims, and the impact of victimization on individuals and society. By applying the scientific method, victimologists gather and analyze data to understand the patterns, risk factors, and dynamics of victimization, ultimately aiming to develop effective strategies to prevent and respond to victimization.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    Most victims are likely to live in what areas?

    • Suburbs

    • Rural/county

    • Small towns

    • Urban areas

    Correct Answer
    A. Urban areas
    Explanation
    Urban areas have a higher population density compared to suburbs, rural/county areas, and small towns. This means that there are more people living in urban areas, which in turn increases the likelihood of victims living in these areas. Additionally, urban areas tend to have higher crime rates and more opportunities for criminal activities, making them more prone to having victims.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    Which principle suggests that the more one comes into contact with offenders, the more likely he is to be victimized?

    • Principle of status quo

    • Principle of hierarchy

    • Principle of homogamy

    • Principle of lex talionis

    Correct Answer
    A. Principle of homogamy
    Explanation
    The principle of homogamy suggests that the more one comes into contact with offenders, the more likely he is to be victimized. Homogamy refers to the tendency of individuals to associate with others who are similar to them in terms of characteristics such as age, social status, and lifestyle. In this context, it means that individuals who engage in criminal activities are more likely to associate with others who also engage in criminal activities, increasing the chances of becoming a victim themselves. This principle highlights the importance of social networks and associations in determining victimization risk.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    What is the third element in the Routine Activities Theory: Motivated Offender, Suitable Target, and ___________?

    • Security Measures

    • Capable Guardianship

    • Protective Actions

    • Victimization Reactors

    Correct Answer
    A. Capable Guardianship
    Explanation
    The third element in the Routine Activities Theory is "Capable Guardianship." This refers to the presence of individuals or entities who are able to effectively prevent or deter criminal activity. Capable guardians can include law enforcement officers, security personnel, neighborhood watch groups, or even individuals who take proactive steps to protect themselves and their property. Their presence and actions can significantly reduce the likelihood of criminal behavior by increasing the perceived risk and decreasing the potential rewards for offenders.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    The NCVS has several advantages, including _________.

    • Its estimates of victimization has several offenses not included in Part I of the UCR

    • It does not measure only crimes reported to the police

    • Its two-stage measurement process allows for a more conservative way of estimating the amount of victimization that occurs each year

    • All of these

    Correct Answer
    A. All of these
    Explanation
    The NCVS, or National Crime Victimization Survey, has several advantages. Firstly, its estimates of victimization include several offenses that are not included in Part I of the UCR (Uniform Crime Report). This provides a more comprehensive view of crime and victimization. Secondly, unlike the UCR, the NCVS does not rely solely on crimes reported to the police. This is important because many victims do not report crimes to the police for various reasons. Lastly, the NCVS uses a two-stage measurement process, which allows for a more conservative way of estimating the amount of victimization that occurs each year. This helps to ensure accuracy in the data. Therefore, all of these advantages make the NCVS a valuable tool in understanding crime and victimization.

    • Nursing aides

    • Doctors

    • Psychiatric staff

    • Administrative staff

    Correct Answer
    A. Nursing aides
    Explanation
    Nursing aides are more likely to perpetrate abuse and/or neglect within an institution compared to other groups such as doctors, psychiatric staff, and administrative staff. This is because nursing aides have direct and regular contact with patients, making them more likely to have opportunities to engage in abusive or neglectful behavior. Additionally, nursing aides may have less training and supervision compared to other staff members, which can contribute to the likelihood of maltreatment occurring.

    • Sexual orientation

The correct answer, race/ethnicity/ancestry, suggests that the majority of hate crimes are committed by individuals who hold bias or prejudice against people based on their racial, ethnic, or ancestral background.

    Who commits most hate crimes?

    • Strangers

    • Intimate partners 

    • Coworkers 

    • Acquaintances

    Correct Answer
    A. Strangers
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "strangers" because hate crimes are typically committed by individuals who do not know the victim personally. Hate crimes often involve prejudice or bias against a particular group, and strangers are more likely to target someone based on their perceived differences or membership in that group. Intimate partners, coworkers, and acquaintances are less likely to commit hate crimes as they usually have a closer relationship or familiarity with the victim.
