Breonna Taylor Case

Written Assignment Criteria

Victimologists gather and interpret data to answer crucial questions such as: How many people were harmed by criminals each year? How badly do they suffer? Is victimization becoming more of a problem? And which groups are targeted the most and the least often? Researchers want to find out where and when most incidents occur? It is also important to determine whether individuals are attacked by complete strangers or people they know, and how these intended targets act when confronted by assailants.
