THEME 1: General Introduction to victims of crime Victims of crime: definition
and problems related to victimization 3 paradigms of victomology:
define the concept ‘‘crime victim’’.
The concept of a "crime victim" refers to an individual or group that has been directly
or indirectly harmed by criminal activity. This harm can take many forms, such as
physical injury, emotional trauma, financial loss, or damage to property.
An example of a crime victim could be someone who has been physically assaulted
or mugged, someone whose house has been broken into and their belongings
stolen, or someone who has been scammed out of their money. It could also include
someone who witnessed a crime and was traumatized by the experience. In all
cases, the victim has been directly or indirectly harmed by the criminal activity.
