Victim behavior - this is the actions or actions of a person, one way or another provoking to cause him any harm. As a rule, a person uses such behavior in order to:
- provoke a criminal to commit certain actions;
- create an environment favorable to attack;
- to draw attention.
Victim behavior in certain situations. A person begins to behave provocatively, not even suspecting that he himself provokes danger. The nature of the hazard is an abstract concept. The bottom line is that different people perceive it differently: some start to be afraid when there is even a slight danger, others remain calm, even when the situation becomes extremely tense and serious. It is also worth noting that someone seeks danger himself, while someone avoids it in every way. The standard behavior of some individuals may seem victimized to other people.
The concept of victimology is used not only in psychology, but also in forensics. Statistics asserts that many sexual crimes occur precisely because women behave inappropriately.
Women are gentle and sweet creatures, but sometimes their behavior is like provocation. A right and calm child can instantly become aggressive, angry, unwilling to follow social rules. Victim behavior in teenage girls can be observed very often.
The basics of victim behavior lie in the mind. One way or another, people realize that their model of behavior is contrary to some norms. Also, many clearly understand that sooner or later a big disaster can happen.
When deciding on victim behavior, a person is guided by no means common sense and logic, but fleeting urges and emotional outbursts.
People can knowingly or unconsciously provoke a criminal (potential criminal) to commit an illegal act. You can provoke:
- words or intonation of statements;
- gestures, actions, behaviors;
- the use of force
Victim behavior, which is based on intonation, gestures, actions, is divided into three types:
- the actions of the victims show her insecurity, fear, fear, and so on. The criminal in such a situation sees an easy prey in front of him. From this he feels decisive and domineering;
- actions that attract attention and provoke;
- actions that increase emotional stress, causing rage, anger, aggression. The victim pours insults, threats.
Victim behavior associated with the use of force is more common in men than in women. Representatives of the stronger sex often start fights, in which they have no chance to win. Of course, the use of force provokes the opposite side and encourages it to act.
A woman resorting to physical strength is very risky. The fact is that after striking, she ceases to appear in the minds of men as a representative of the opposite sex, which cannot be beaten. After the use of force, it will be perceived as an adversary.
It is important to understand that:
- a significant number of victims until the very last moment do not understand what is really in great danger.
- a normal-looking person can be a dangerous criminal. The appearance and behavior of a person often do not reveal his true intentions;
- because of fear, a person is lost and begins to think badly. Fear fettles the body and makes a person defenseless. You need to learn how to control it - it is quite possible that one day it will save your life.
Victim behavior is what you need to understand, recognize and learn to control. Analyze yourself - decide whether you are doing the right thing in dangerous situations.
