• ‘Victim precipitation’
® Von Hentig: ‘why in history has everyone always focused on the guy with the big stick, the
hero, the activist, to the neglect of the poor slob who is at the end of the stick, the victim,
the passivist – or maybe, the poor slob (in bandages) isn’t all that much of a passivist
victim – maybe he asked for it?’
® Rol van het slachtoPer bij de totstandkoming van criminaliteit
o Positief: hoe kunnen (potentiële) slachtoPers zichzelf beschermen, zie ook
