The Widnes TimesFear:
Gender: Fear can be based on someone being male or female, a good example of this would be how males would fear getting jumped more men get involved with gangs in their t
easily manipulated in their early teens, the same could be said for women however more males get involved with gangs more than women do, but if they get jumped or assaulted
cause serious physical and mental damage to those involved, it may cause things such as PTSD and it may cause the victim to become more anti-social amongst other things. For w
fear domestic abuse more as women are less stronger than men physically due to how the body has been designed, this could cause serious mental and physical damage to whoe
lead to the victim becoming anti-social and to not want to engage in any more relationships whether that be normal friendly relationships or maybe more serious relationships. Al
are also more likely to be a victim of hate crimes which intern will make them fear these crimes, such groups like the LGBTQ community may suffer serious mental/physical damag
problem with who they identify as or have any sexual attraction to. More groups such as immigrants, as to some they will not be seen as “British” and will be targeted by groups li
to try and get rid of them, it must be noted that this specific group of people have received and still do receive I would say the most trouble due to recent events in the Eastern pa
massive chances Britain more specifically England is taking such as leaving the EU and becoming more independent and the growing housing problem we are facing.
Locality: It should be noted that fear can be associated with where people live. For example, if you live in a quite urban area you may fear crimes such as burglary or extorsion and
like assaults and things like that. Same goes for cities as they house people from all walks of live and from different finical situations, some will be lower class whilst some will be m
thought process can be given to those who live in towns and villages. However, if you live in the countryside like farmers and smaller villages that could be quite isolated, you’re m
theft of farming equipment (as farming equipment is expensive and can be sold for quite a lot of money), they may also face extortion. So, in reality, no matter where you live, wh
village you will have your own fear of crime as it comes with their own different advantages and disadvantages.
Age: Fear can also be based upon age, this is because people who with young ages roughly (14 to 18) would be more likely to fear getting jumped or assaulted, they may find them
belongings they may have on them like clothing, jewellery, phones and maybe some illegal substances like drugs, other things could includes transportation like bikes (electrical bi
bikes), scooters (electrical scooters) etc. The same can be said for people from other age groups like older people, they may fear more extorsion, manipulation or burglary, and its
the most vulnerable due to their age and how it limits what they can do to defend themselves and limits how independent that can be in day to day life. They could also fear thing
them having their entire pension taken away from them by a scammer.
Health: Now health can link in to age, people who are of different health statuses will have their own fears if not more fears than someone who is more fitter would, this ties in to
fit capability are better able to defend themselves than someone with underlying health conditions physically or mentally, with this being said people with underlying health cond
targets for people looking to commit a good variety of crimes the same can be said for people with mental or physical disabilities, they would become idea targets for crimes, such
many more as they would be easier to take control of compared to someone who is fit and is better able to defend themselves.
Previous victimisation: People of previous victimisation will have a variety of fears, this is because they have already been victimised for crime before so they would be feeling all d
may suffer from things like mental health illnesses or may suffer physical disabilities or injuries because of the crimes they have already been made victim of, they would be a idea
where they can be easily threatened for something someone may want, this is because the victim would be beyond scared about what would happen if they didn’t comply and wo
same as they did during the first time they had been victimised by crime.
, Patterns of victimisation
Class: for this that class you fit in to is key to this pattern of victimisation, for example if you are from a lower class area you may be a target to extorsion, burglary and possible assaults,
vary, one could be that they are a easy target and wouldn’t show much resistance against these sorts of crimes, however some may dislike that part of the community and to show their
crimes in hopes of changing something, but as mentioned before there could be a number of reasons someone would choose a specific class to commit their crimes. Another class woul
class, this could be for things like theft, extorsion and things like that, this would be because they might have things that are worth more than what a lower class person may have in the
of crimes you see committed in terms of what social/economic class you are in are almost the same the exception being that one class may have more than the other and the difficulty o
vary depending on the individual you come across, some being easier to threaten and take advantage of than others, crimes faced by these classes would be as mentioned before extors
burglary but also, theft and fraud and maybe possible murder.
Age: For age younger people are at risk of victimisation. Teenagers are more vulnerable to assaults, harassment (and also sexual harassment), theft, abuse (abuse of all different kinds) th
are seen as easier targets to manipulate compared to older people, this is because of the fact that as a teenager you are still working out rights and wrongs, you experiment with differe
things, this can be taken full advantage of, it must also be stated that older people (in their 60s onward) may be targeted for reasons that they would be easier to manipulate than other
wont be able to defend themselves the way a younger person would, this intern makes them almost perfect targets for someone looking to commit a crime, they could be targets to frau
their pension taken away from them) or extorsion, this ties in to them not being able to defend themselves like how someone younger would be able to, the victim would feel all but pow
want to see what would happen if they were to defy whoever was demanding things from them.
Ethnicity: Minority groups are at a greater danger of being targeted because of the fact they would be seen as a minority, some people may look to these groups being “not British” (this
mine) .They may see these groups as people taking advantage of things like the benefits system or may give them trouble for the idea that they are “stealing jobs” and actually a lot of pe
UK for work take the lower paid jobs., its because of this that they become targets to things like hate crime, assaults, burglary, extorsion and many other crimes. And because of the grow
groups throughout Britain these crimes are becoming more common, some goes for groups like black people or people associated with the LGBTQ community, people who don’t agree o
these groups may target them for what they believer or for what they are. Unfortunately there are still a great many people who have raciest views not just in Britain but throughout the
the EDL (English Defence League) who spread their belief to the thousands and hundreds of thousands of those listening, Since Britain is a open and free country we have a very diverse
with all sorts of different backgrounds and ethnicities and with these numbers constantly on the increase, unfortunately its hard to see the end of these attacks on people who are only
ethnicity.
Gender: With gender comes its own risks for example, most murder victims are male, these are because of things like gang relations and relations to crime, men are also at risks of gettin
and what not. For women they are more at risk of domestic abuse, this is because of the fact that women naturally are not as strong as their male counterpart, it’s because of this that s
women as weak and may wish to take advantage of that, the perpetrator would usually degrade them in order to make the women feel helpless and to give off the idea that the women
often than not this works, with many women being terrified to speak up against their abuse partner or the women thinking it’s a normal process because she may believe herself to be w
her fault. Men can also be victims of domestic abuse however, it is more often than not women who are the victims of domestic abuse.
Repeat victimisation: As mentioned in the previous slide regarding previous victimisation, there are people out there who have been the victim to a crime multiple of times, this can link
for example them being easier to manipulate, them being scared to defy the perpetrator, the victim not wanting any harm to come to his/her friends and family and what not, the sort o
can go through varies on the individual wishing to do harm, they may face, fraud, extorsion, burglary, assault, sexual abuse (or abuse in general) and harassment.
