Identify any ways that the suspect does not fit those trends. Identify and describe some of the overwhelming factors that may have led to his offending.
• Considering the nature of victimization and the victim’s interview, give your opinion on whether or not she seems to be the “typical victim”. Explain why or why not. Identify and explain the theories that may begin to describe her victimization in this instance. Identify the costs in this victimization.
• Based on the information given by the suspect involved in the robbery from Week 1, determine if the suspect fits the given typologies for offenders from Chapter 3.
