FACTORS ALTERING BEHAVIOR AND COPING MECHANISM


This chapter present the factors affecting human behavior such as; emotion, conflict,
depression, stress, frustration, and coping mechanism. Furthermore, progress check is
provided at the end of this chapter.

Emotion

Emotion is referring to the feelings affective responses as a result of physiological


arousal. Thoughts and beliefs, subjective evaluation and bodily expression. It is a state
characterized by the facial expression, gesture, posture, and subjective feelings (Uriarte,
2009).
Emotion is associated with mood, temperament, personality, and disposition. The
English word ‘Emotion’ is derived from the french word ‘emouvoir”. this is based on the
latin emovere. Where e- (variant of ex-) means ‘out ‘movere means ‘move’. the related
term “motivation” is also derived from movere (Santrock, 2000).

Theories of emotion are:

1. James-Lange Theory by William James and Carl Lange -it is state that
emotion result from physiological states triggered by stimuli in the environment;
emotion occurs after physiological reactions. This theory and its derivatives states that
a changed situation leads to a changed bodily state as James says “the perception of
bodily changes as they occurs in the emotion.”

2. Cannon-bard Theory by Walter Cannon and Philip Bard - this is a theory


that emotion and physiological reactions occur simultaneously. These action include
changes in muscular tension, perception etc. the theory was formulated following the
introduction of the James-Lange theory of emotion in the late 1800s, which alternately
suggested that emotion is the result of one perception of their reaction, or bodily
changes”

5
3. Two factor theory- it was provided by SCHACHER & SINGER, in which they
posited that emotion is the cognitive interpretation of a physiological response. For
many, this remains the best formulation of emotion. Most people consider this to be
the common sense” theory to explain physiological changes.

2. Conflict

Conflict is a stressful condition that occurs when person must choose between
incompatible or contradictory [Link] is a negative emotions state caused by
an inability to choose between two or more incompatible goals or impulse.
Conflict is the state in which two or more motives cannot be satisfied because they
interfere with one another.
Types of conflict

1. Physiological Conflict ( internal conflict )

- these could be going on inside the person and no one would know ( instinct may be
at odds with values ). Freud would say unconscious id battling super ego and further
claimed that our personalities are always in conflict.

2. Social conflict - these different kinds of social conflict are ;


a. Interpersonal conflict b. Two individuals me against you c. Inter-group
struggles- us against them, d. individual opposing a group -me against them
them against me e. Intra- group conflict -members of group all against each
other on a task

Approach- avoidance-conflict can be described as having features of approach and


avoidance; approach speaks to thing that we want while avoidance refer to things that
we do not want.

Kinds of Approach-avoidance

A. Approach-approach conflict - the individual must choose between two


positive goals of approximately equal value. In this two pleasing things are wanted but
only one option should be chosen.
B. Avoidance-avoidance conflict - involves more obvious sources of stress.
The individual must choose between two or more negative outcomes.
C. Approach-avoidance conflict - conflict exists when there is an attractive and
unattractive part of both sides. It arises when obtaining a positive goals necessitates a
negative outcome as well.

6
D. Multiple -approach-avoidance conflict - these refers to the conflict with
complex combination of approach and avoidance conflict. It requires individual to
choose between alternatives that contains both positive and negative consequences.

adopt to the strains or demand of the environment, the body cannot keep this up
indefinitely, so its resources are gradually depleted.

Coping mechanism
Are the sum total of ways in which people deal with minor to major stress and
trauma. Some of these processes are unconscious ones, other are learned behavior ,
and still other are skills that individuals consciously mater in order to reduce stress , or
other intense emotion like depression .not all way of coping are equally beneficial , and
some can actually be very detrimental.

Defense mechanism

- refer to an individual’s way of reacting to frustration. These are unconscious


psychological strategies brought into play by various entities to cope with reality and to
maintain self-image healthy person normally use different defenses throughout life.
According to Freud defense mechanism are methods that ego uses to avoid recognizing
ideas or emotions that may cause personal anxiety; it is the unrealistic strategies used
by the ego to discharge tension.
The following is the complete list of the coping mechanism

1. Acting out - this means literally acting out the desire that are forbidden by the super
ego and yet desire by the id.
2. Aim inhibition - sometimes we have desires and goals that we believe or realized
that we are unable to achieve. In aim inhibition, we lower our sight, reducing our goals to
something that we believe is actually more possible or realistic.
3. Altruism - avoid your own pains by concentrating on the pains of other, maybe you
can heal yourself and feel good by healing them and helping them to feel good.
4. Attack - the best form of defense is attack it is common saying and is also common
action, and when we feel threatened or attack we will attack back. When a person feels
stressed in some way he\she may lash out at whoever is in the way, whether the other
person is in a real caused or not.
5. Avoidance - we simply find ways of avoiding having to face uncomfortable situations,
things or activities.
6. Compartmentalization - it is a divide and conquer process for separating thoughts
that will conflict with one another.
7. Compensation - they may compensate by accentuating or building up strengths in
another area. Thus, when they are faced with their weakness, they can say ‘ah but I am
good at …..’ and hence feel reasonably good about the situation.
14
8. Conversation - occurs where cognitive tensions manifest themselves in physical
symptoms.
9. Denial - is simply refusing to acknowledge that an event has occurred. The person
affected simply acts as if nothing has happened, behaving in ways that others may see
as bizarre.
10. Displacement - it refers to the shifting of action from a desired target to a
substitute target when there are some reasons why the first target is not permitted or not
available.
11. Dissociation - involved separating a set of thoughts or activities from the main
area of conscious mind in order to avoid the conflict that this would cause.
12. Emotionally - when we became stressed or tension is caused a number of
negative emotion may start to build including anger, frustration, fear, other around us,
arousing similar or polar feelings.
13. Fantasy or day dreaming - when we cannot achieved or do something that
we want, we channel the energy created by the desire into fantastic imaginings, fantasy
also provides temporary reliefs from the general stresses of everyday living.
14. Fight or flight reaction - when we perceive a significant threat to us , then our
bodies get ready either for a fight to the death or a desperate flight from certain defeat by
a clearly superior adversary .
15. Help rejecting complaining - a person becomes upset or otherwise elicit
supporting action from other people. When helpful suggestion or other comfort is offered,
however, he\she reject this and return to his\her complaint.
16. Idealization - it is the over estimation of the desirable qualities and
underestimation of the limitation of a desire thing. We also tend to idealize those things
that we have chosen or acquired. The opposite of idealization is demonization, where
something that is not desired or disliked has its weak points exaggerated and its strong
point played down.
17. Identification- it occurs when a person changes apparent facets of his/her
personality such that he/she appears to be more like other people. This process may be
to copy specific people or it may be to change to an idealized prototype. Areas of
identification may include external elements, such as clothing and hair styles (which may
be chosen without consciously realizing the influences that are at play) as well as
internal factors such as beliefs, values and attitudes.
18. Intellectualization- this refers to “flight into reason”, where the person avoids
uncomfortable emotions by focusing on facts and logic. The situation is treated as an
interesting problem that engages the person on a rational basis, whilst the emotional
aspects are completely ignore as being irrelevant. Jargon is often used as a device of
intellectualization. By using complex terminology, the focus becomes on the words and
finer definitions rather than the human effects.
19. Introjection- introjection occurs as a coping mechanism when we take on
attributes of other people who seem better able to cope with the situation than we do.
20. Passive Aggression- a person who uses passes aggressive method to cope
with stress does this by “attacking through passive means. Thus the aggressive intent is
cloaked by the passive method. Passive aggression often appears when a person is

15
asked to do something which he/she wants to avoid for some reason. By appearing to
agree but not making any real commitment, he/she can avoid the action.
21. Post-Traumatic Growth- an individual who has suffered a traumatic
experience somehow finds ways to turn into something good. Typically interpersonal
relationships are improved, with friends and family valued more and more time being
spent in helping others. Self-Perception changes through the increase in resiliency
gained from realizing you can cope with hardship.
22. Projection- when a person has uncomfortable thoughts or feelings he/she
may project these onto other people, assigning the thoughts or feelings he/she needs to
repress to a convenient alternative target. Projection may also happen to obliterate
attributes of other people with which we are uncomfortable. We assume that they are like
us, and in doing so we allow ourselves to ignore those attributes they have with which
we are uncomfortable.
23. Provocation or Free-Floating- when a person feels stressed, his/her way to
avoid dealing with the real issues is to provoke others into some kind of reaction. The
attention can be put on the other person and away from the originator’s stress.
24. Reaction Formation- Reaction Formation occurs when a person feels an urge
to do or say something and then actually does or says something that is effectively the
opposite of what he/she really wants. It also appears as a defense against a feared
social punishment. If I fear that I will be criticized for something, I very visibly act in a way
that shows I am personally a long way from the feared position.
25. Rationalization- when something happens that we find difficult to accept, then
we will make up a logical reason why it has happened. We rationalize to ourselves. We
also find it very important to rationalize to other people, even those we do not know.
26. Regression- regression involves taking the position of a child in some
problematic situation, rather than acting in a more adult way. This is usually in response
to stressful situations with greater levels of stress potentially leading to more overt
regressive acts. Regressive acts behavior can be simple and harmless, such as a
person who is sucking a pen, or may be more dysfunctional, such as crying or using
petulant arguments.
27. Repression- repression involves placing uncomfortable thoughts in relatively
inaccessible areas of the subconscious mind. Thus when things occur that we are
unable to cope with now, we push them away, either planning to deal with them another
time or hoping that the will fade away on their accord.
28. Self-harming- the person physically deliberately hurts himself/herself in some
way or otherwise puts themselves at high risk of harm.
29. Somatization-somatization occurs where a psychological problem turns into
physical and subconscious symptoms. This can range from simple twitching to skin
rashes, heart problems and worse.
30. Sublimation-it is the transformation of unwanted impulse into something less
harmful. Thus can simply be a distracting release or may be a constructive and valuable
piece of work.

terribly wrong with his\her body. Mood disorders
are disorders characterized by extreme and unwanted disturbances in feeling or
mood. These are major disturbances in one’s condition or emotion, such as depression
and mania. It is otherwise known as EFFECTIVE DISORDER.

TYPES OF MOOD DISORDER

1. BIPOLAR DISORDER
In bipolar disorder, formerly known as MANIC DEPRESSION, there are swing in
mood from elation (EXTREME HAPPINESS) to depression (EXTREME SADNES) with
no discernable external cause.
TWO TYPES OF BIPOLAR

A. MANIC PHASE - DURING the manic phase of this disorder, the patient may
show excessive, unwarranted excitement or silliness, carrying jokes too far. They may
also show poor judgement and recklessness and may be argumentative. Manic may
speak rapidly, have unrealistic ideas, and jump from subject. They may not be able to
sleep or sit still for very long.

withdrawal.

in a depressed mood for the most of the day, nearly every day or has lost interest
or pleasure in all, or almost all activities for a period of at least two weeks.
B. Single episode - single episode depression is like major depression only it strikes
in one dramatic episode.
C. Recurrent - recurrent depression is an extended pattern of depressed episodes.

integrated into the individuals personality and that are troublesome to others or whose
pleasure sources are either harmful or illegal.
SCHIZOPHRENIA

- is a group of disorder characterized by loss of contact with reality, marked


disturbances of thought and perception, and bizarre behavior. At some phase.
DELUSION or HALLUCINATION almost always occurs.

SCHIZOPHRENIC HALLUCINATION

1. TACTILE (touch) - people with schizophrenia often have the sensation that there are
things (like bugs or insects) crawling across their skin.
2. Visual (sight) - this kind of hallucination causes the person to see things that are not
really there.
3. Auditory (hearing) - this is the most common type of hallucination people with
auditory hallucination hear voices and sound that others cannot hear.
4. Olfactory (smell) - the person experiencing an olfactory hallucination smells things
(usually foul smelling things) that others do not smell.
5. Command (hearing) - when a voice commands the person to do something he\she
would not ordinarily do.
CHARATERIZED OF SCHEZOPHRENIA

1. DISTURBANCE OF THOUGHT AND ATTENTION- people suffering schizophrenia


often cannot think logically and as the result of this they cannot write a story, because
every word they down might make sense, but are meaningless in relation to each other,
and they cannot keep their attention to the writing. The principal disturbances in the
schizophrenia though processes in multiple delusion. This is divided into two
subcategories.
A. PERSECUTORY DELUSION - the schizophrenic believes that he\she is being
talked about, spied upon, or his\her death being planned.
B. DELUSION OF REFERENCE - the schizophrenic give personal importance to
completely unrelated incident, object or people.
22
2. DISTURBANCES OF PERCEPTION - during acute schizophrenic episodes people
say that the world appears different to them, their bodies appear longer, colors seem
more intense and they cannot recognized themselves in a mirror.
3. DISTURBANCES OF AFFECT - person to fail show normal emotion. This symptoms
is easiest described as an excessive lack of correlation between what an individual is
saying and what emotion they are expressing.
4. WITHDRAWAL FROM REALITY - the individual becomes absorbed in his inner
thoughts and fantasies. The self- absorption may be so intense that the individual may
not know the month or day or the place where he is staying.
5. DELUSION AND HALLUCINATION - IN THE MOST cases it is accompanied by
delusions. Delusion are inflexible misleading beliefs. They appear as a result of
exaggerating or distortions of reasoning, as well as false interpretation of things and
events

D.
23
5. UNDIFFERENTIATED SCHIZOPHRENIA - the symptoms of more than one of the
above mentioned types of schizophrenia, but without clear predominance of a
particular set of diagnostic characteristic.

Schizophrenia develops through any of the following causes:

1. GENETIC CAUSES - usually lie in a person having immediate relatives with a history
of schizophrenia or other psychiatric diseases (bipolar, disorder, and depression).
2. PRENATAL CAUSES -causal factors are though to initially come together in early
neurodevelopment to increase the risk of later developing schizophrenia .one curious
finding is that people diagnosed with schizophrenia are more likely to have been born in
winter or spring.
3. ENVIRONMENTAL \SOCIAL CAUSE - there is considerable evidence indicating that
stress may trigger episodes of schizophrenia psychosis.
4. SUBSTANCE ABUSE CAUSE - in a recent study of people with schizophrenia and a
substance abuse disorder, over a ten years period “substantial proportion were above
cutoffs selected by dual diagnosis clients as indicators of recovery.

[Link]

Noun

(uncountable)

1. (sexuality) undinism, a fetish for or sexual dependency on either the smell and/or taste
of urine, or the sight and sound of someone urinating.

Origin

From uro- + -philia.


[Link] is the primary sexual attraction to the elderly. A person with such a
sexual preference is a gerontophile. The word gerontophilia was coined in 1901 by
psychiatrist Richard von Krafft-Ebing.[1][2] It derives from Greek: geron, meaning "old
person" and philie, meaning "love".[3] Gerontophilia is classified as a paraphilia, but is
not mentioned in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
or International Classification of Diseases.[1]
The prevalence of gerontophilia is unknown.[1] A study of pornographic search terms on
a peer-to-peer network reported that 0.15% had gerontophilic themes.[4] Sex offenders
with elderly victims do not necessarily have gerontophilia. There are other possible
motivations for these offenses, such as rage or sadism, or the increased vulnerability of
elderly as a social group,[5] which are factors that may not involve a sexual preference
for the elderly. There are no studies showing that most such offenders are gerontophiles.
In one small study, two of six sex offenders against the elderly evinced gerontophilic
30
tendencies.[6] Gerontophilia can also be expressed with consenting elderly partners in a
legal context.[1][7]
Research on gerontophilia is limited to a small number of case studies, beginning with a
paper by French physician Charles Féré in 1905. Féré described a 27-year-old man who
rejected an arranged marriage with a 20-year-old "beauty" in favor of a 62-year-old
woman.[1] Such studies commonly report that the subject had an early sexual
experience with a much older woman.[6]

N. Mysophilia: Mysophilia refers to sexual urges, arousal or fantasies involving touching


soiled underwear or foul smells. More detailed information about the symptoms, causes,
and treatments of Mysophilia

O. Hypoxyphilia-. sexual fantasy involving arousal obtained by reduction of oxygen flow to


the brain. It is a paraphilia usually involving one person alone (i.e., autoerotic asphyxia)
but occasionally involving sexual partners (i.e., asphyxophilia). Methods and tools used to
achieve arousal include, among others, strangulation by rope, smothering by means of a
plastic bag over the head, hanging, and breathing in an anesthetic. Highly dangerous,
hypoxyphilia results in numerous fatalities.

GENDER IDENTITY DISORDER (transsexualism)

-gender identity disorder exist when a person experience confusion, vagueness or


conflict in his\her feelings about his\her own sexual identity. It is condition in which the
individual feels trapped in a body of the wrong sex. A person who is anatomically male
feels that he is actually a woman who somehow was given the wrong body is an example
of this.

Category of sexual abnormalities

1. heterosexual - a person who is sexually or romantically attracted to people of the


opposite sex : a heterosexual person
2. Homosexual - person who is sexually or romantically attracted to people of their
same sex : a gay person and especially a male gay person

Kinds of homosexual

A. overt - person who is sexually or romantically attracted to people of their same sex
: a gay person and especially a male gay person

31
B. Latent - is an erotic attraction toward members of the same sex that is not
consciously experienced or expressed in overt action. This may mean a hidden
inclination or potential for interest in homosexual relationships, which is either
suppressed or not recognized, and which has not yet been explored, or may never be
explored.
The term was originally proposed by Sigmund Freud. Some argue that latent
homosexuality is a potentially iatrogenic effect (that is, it is not present until suggested by
a therapist).[1] Others argue that the term latent is not truly applicable in the case of
homosexual urges, since they are often not in the unconscious or unexpressed category,
but rather exist in the conscious mind and are (often violently) repressed on a conscious
level.
3. infANTOSEXUAL - sexual desire towards immature person. Pedophilia-person who
have a compulsive desire to have sexual intercourse with a child of either sex.

4. Bestosexual - Bestiality Sexual ... An act expanding the definition of the crime of
Rape, Reclassifying the same as a crime against person .Amending for the ..

5. Autosexual (self gratification or masturbation) - Simply put, being autosexual is


feeling a sexual attraction toward yourself, as sex and relationship expert Carmel
Jones explains. The term is often also brought up with “autoromantic,” which refers to a
romantic attraction to yourself, whereas “autosexual” is just the sexual component.

Autosexuality could look like a person who prefers to masturbate instead of having
sexual intercourse with another person, explains Megwyn White, director of education for
Satisfyer.

Autosexuality is often associated with narcissism, but experts agree that’s not an
accurate way of thinking about autosexuality. “This is not the same as narcissistic
personality disorder, as narcissists require admiration and attention from others and lack
empathy,” White explains. Instead, “people who identify as autosexual are able to
have relationships with others but have a preference for sex with themselves.”
TYPES OF MATURBATION

1. GERONTOPHILIA - is an “erotic age orientation” in which one is most strongly


aroused by the elderly, and so it is at the opposite end of the spectrum from pedophilia.
In fact, perhaps the most bizarre theory concerning its etiological (or clinical) origins was
put forth, without any supporting data, by the British psychiatrist T. C. Gibbens in 1982.
This inventive author argued that gerontophiles are likely to have underlying pedophilic
tendencies as well, with both paraphilias stemming from a phobia of pubic hair.

2. NECROPHILIA - also known as necrophilism, necrolagnia, necrocoitus, necrochlesis,


and thanatophilia, is sexual attraction towards or a sexual act involving corpses.

3. INCEST - is the crime of two members of the same family having sexual intercourse,
for example a father and daughter, or a brother and sister.

32
Sexual abnormalities

1. sodomy - buggery (British English) is generally anal or oral sex between people or
sexual activity between a person and a non-human animal (bestiality), but it may also
mean any non-procreative sexual activity.[1][2][3] Originally, the term sodomy, which
is derived from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Book of Genesis,[4] was
commonly restricted to anal sex.[5][6] Sodomy laws in many countries criminalized
the behavior.[6][7] In the Western world, many of these laws have been overturned or
are not routinely enforced.

2. Uranism - a homosexual condition especially when involving physically normal males.

3. Frottage (frotteurism) - the paraphiliac practice of achieving sexual stimulation or


orgasm by touching and rubbing against a person without the person's consent and
usually in a public place. — called also frottage.

4. Partialism - is a sexual interest with a focus on a specific part of the body. This can
be any part of the body, such as the hair, breasts, or buttocks. The most common
form of partialism is podophilia, in which a person becomes sexually aroused by feet.

VICTIMOLOGY

-victimology is the study of crime victims. It’s a subset of criminology, the study of
crime. People who study victimology, or victimization, examine the psychological effects
of crimes on the victims, the interactions between victims and the criminal justice system
and the relationships between victims and offenders. Modern theories of victimology try
to explain why some are more likely than other to become victims of a crime.

33
THEORIES OF VICTIMOLOGY

Various theories of victimology exist, each with the aim of explaining why certain
people become victims of crimes, and why others do not. Some people view some
theories in a negative light, believing that to conjecture as to the causes of
victimization is tantamount to blaming the victim for crime, at least
[Link] lifestyle/exposure theory is a model of victimology that posits that the
likelihood an individual will suffer a personal victimization depends heavily upon the
concept of life style. Most victims are victimised at night. The lifestyle theory is
constructed upon several premises. The most important of the premises are:

• The uneven distribution of criminal victimization across space and time. This
translates to the occurrence of high-risk places and high-risk times.
• Offenders do not constitute a representative sample of the general population. This
translates to the occurrence of high-risk persons.
• Lifestyle determines the likelihood of personal victimization through the intervening
variables of exposure and association.
• People are not equally exposed to high-risk places and times, and they vary in the
degree to which they associate with high-risk persons. This translates to a persons
lifestyle influencing the exposure and association with low-risk persons.[1]

1. Victim Precipitation Theory

"According to victim precipitation theory, some people may actually initiate the
confrontation that eventually leads to their injury or death."

Examples:

"In 1971, Menachem Amir suggested female rape victims often contribute to their
attacks by... pursuing a relationship with the rapist."

"A woman may become the target of domestic violence when she increases her
job status and her success results in a backlash from a jealous spouse or partner."

Victim Impulsivity:

34
"A number of research efforts have found that both male and female victims have
an impulsive personality that might render them abrasive and obnoxious,
characteristics that might incite victimization."

"It is possible that impulsive people are not only antagonistic and therefore more
likely to become targets, but they also are risk takers who get involved in
dangerous situations and fail to take precautions."

2. Lifestyle Theory

"Some criminologists believe people may become crime victims because their
lifestyle increases their exposure to criminal offenders."

Examples:

"Single women who drink frequently and have a prior history of being sexually
assaulted are most likely to be assaulted on [college] campus."
"People who belong to groups that have an extremely risky life—homeless,
runaways, drug users—are at high risk for victimization; the more time they are
exposed to street life, the greater their risk of becoming crime victims."

3. Deviant Place Theory

"The more often victims visit dangerous places, the more likely they will be
exposed to crime and violence. Victims do not encourage crime, but are victim
prone because they reside in socially disorganized high-crime areas where
they have the greatest risk of coming into contact with criminal offenders,
irrespective of their own behavior or lifestyle."

4. Routine Activities Theory

"...the volume and distribution of predatory crime (violent crimes against a person
and crimes in which an offender attempts to steal an object directly) are closely
related to the interaction of three variables that reflect the routine activities of the
typical American lifestyle:"

1.

"The availability of suitable targets, such as homes containing easily saleable


goods."

35
2. 3.

"The absence of capable guardians, such as police, homeowners, neighbors,


friends, and relatives." "Even the most desperate criminal might hesitate to attack
a well-defended target." "[A]n undefended yet attractive target (not referring to
sexual) becomes an irresistible objective for motivated criminals."

4.

5.

"The presence of motivated offenders, such as a large number of unemployed


teenagers."

Three areas within of study within victimology include the following:

Victim Precipitation Theory

The victim precipitation theory suggests that the characteristics of the victim precipitate
the crime. That is, a criminal could single out a victim because the victim is of a certain
ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity.

This theory does not only involve hate crimes directed at specific groups of people. It
might also involve occupations or activities. For example, someone who is opposed to
his or her views may target a political activist. An employee may target a recently
promoted employee if he or she believes they deserved the promotion.

Lifestyle Theory

Lifestyle theory suggests that certain people may become the victims of crimes because
of their lifestyles and choices. For example, someone with a gambling or substance
addiction could be as an “easy victim” by a con artist.

Walking alone at night in a dangerous area, conspicuously wearing expensive jewelry,


leaving doors unlocked and associating with known criminals are other lifestyle
characteristics that may lead to victimization.

Deviant Place Theory

There is some overlap between the lifestyle theory and the deviant place theory. The
deviant place theory states that an individual is more likely to become the victim of a
crime when exposed to dangerous areas. In other words, a mugger is more likely to
target a person walking alone after dark in a bad neighborhood. The more frequently a
person ventures into bad neighborhoods where violent crime is common, the greater the
risk of victimization.

There is also some overlap between the deviant place theory and socioeconomic
approaches to victimization. Low-income households are more likely to be located in or
near dangerous areas of town, and individuals from poor socioeconomic backgrounds
are less capable of moving away from these dangerous areas.

What Is Forensic Psychology and What Is Victimology?

Forensic psychology, simply put, is where psychology and the criminal justice system
meet. Those with forensic psychology jobs use the scientific principles of psychology to
perform a wide variety of roles, such as assisting crime scene investigators, counseling
inmates at correctional facilities, consulting with defense attorneys and prosecutors,
helping design crime-prevention programs, and more.

Victimology is the scientific study of the psychological effects of crime and the
relationship between victims and offender. It examines victim patterns and tendencies;
studies how victims interact with the police and the legal system; and analyzes how
factors of class, race, and sexual orientation affect the perception of the victim by
different constituents, including the public, the court system, and the media.

How Does Victimology Help the Practice of Forensic Psychology?

The field of victimology is providing forensic psychology professionals with new


understandings they can apply to multiple areas of the criminal justice system.
Victimology is helping improve:

Crime Prevention

Certain risk factors can make you more likely to be a victim of crime. These include
everything from your age to your income level—and those risk factors can change
depending on the type of crime. Victimology studies these risk factors and forensic
psychology professionals use the research to help government agencies and nonprofits
develop programs aimed at decreasing the risks of crime among high-risk groups.

Law Enforcement

Often, a member of law enforcement is the first person a victim interacts with after a
crime. Forensic psychology professionals can use victimology research to help prepare
law enforcement professionals for encounters with victims, training them on how to
respond with appropriate empathy while also obtaining vital details about the crime.
Forensic psychology professionals can also use research on victim risk factors to help
local police and law enforcement agencies better serve vulnerable communities. In
addition, some forensic psychology professionals choose victim specialist positions within
state and federal government that specifically deal with victims. This isn’t a counseling
role, but rather an opportunity to provide assistance and resources to victims in need.

Corrections

When dealing with convicted criminals, forensic psychology professionals regularly


address the relationship between a criminal and his or her victim. Victimology gives these
37
psychology professionals a better understanding of those relationships and the
psychological impact of crime, which can help them provide more effective feedback and,
ultimately, reduce recidivism.

Criminal Prosecution

The victim of a crime is often a witness in the trial of the accused. In cases where the
victim isn’t required to appear in court, but is allowed to provide testimony, forensic
psychology professionals can use victimology research to guide forensic interviews
designed to ensure the accuracy of testimony. In cases where the victim will appear in
court, forensic psychology professionals can help defense attorneys, prosecutors, and
court officers relate appropriately to these victims. They can also help attorneys choose
effective cross-examination questions.

Types Of Victimization

Who is a Victim?

A victim is a person who suffers direct or threatened physical, emotional or financial harm
as a result of an act by someone else, which is a crime.

Types of Victimization (click term to view definition)

• Sexual Misconduct
• Rape
• Sexual Touching
• Sexual Harassment
• Stalking
• Physical Assault/Battery
• Dating/Relationship/Domestic Violence
• Theft
• Threat of Harm

Sexual Misconduct is an umbrella term that includes any non-consensual sexual activity
that is committed by force or fear or mental or physical incapacitation, including through
the use of alcohol or drugs. Sexual misconduct can vary in its severity and consists of a
range of behavior, including rape, statutory rape (sexual contact with a person under 18
years old), sexual touching, sexual exploitation, sexual harassment, and conduct
suggestive of attempting to commit any of the aforementioned acts.

Engaging in any sexual activity, clear consent must be given.

Rape - Rape is the sexual penetration (however slight) of the victim’s vagina, mouth, or
rectum without consent. Rape involves penetration with (a) the use of force/fear or the
threat of force/fear; or (b) with a person who is otherwise incapable of giving consent,

38
including situations where the individual is under the influence of alcohol or drugs and
this condition was or should have reasonably been known to the accused.

Sexual Touching- Sexual touching, also known as sexual battery, is the act of making
unwanted and sexually offensive contact (clothed or unclothed) with an intimate body part
of another person or action, which causes immediate apprehension that sexual touch will
occur. Intimate body parts include sexual organs, the anus, the groin, breasts or buttocks
of any person. Sexual touching includes situations in which the accused engages in the
contacts described with a person who is incapable of giving consent.

Sexual Exploitation- Sexual exploitation is the taking advantage of a nonconsenting


person or situation for personal benefit or gratification or for the benefit of anyone other
than the alleged victim; and the behavior does not constitute rape, sexual touching or
sexual harassment. Sexual exploitation includes, but is not limited to:

· Photographing or making audio or video recordings of sexual activity without consent;


· Dissemination of images or recordings without consent of the participant(s);
· Allowing others to observe sexual activity without the knowledge or consent of the
partner;
· Voyeurism (peeping tom);
· Knowingly transmitting a sexually transmitted infection or HIV to another student;
· Prostituting another person;
· Giving alcohol or other drugs to another student with the intention of rending him or her
incapable of giving consent.

Sexual Harassment- Sexual Harassment is any unwelcome sexual conduct or behavior


that creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or educational environment. A
comprehensive list of prohibited behaviors can be found in the Tiger Lore.

Stalking- Stalking is prohibited. It is willful, malicious and repeated following of a person


or harassing behaviors against another person, putting the person in reasonable fear for
his or her personal safety, or the safety of his or her family. This includes use of notes,
mail, gifts, communication technology (e.g. voicemail, text messages, internet and social
networking sites - using any electronic or telecommunication is also known as
cyberstalking) to harass or convey a threat. This offense may also be treated as a type of
sexual misconduct in certain situations.

Physical Assault/Battery - Physical assault or battery is prohibited. It is to touch or


strike a person against his or her will or to threaten violence against that person.

Dating/Relationship/Domestic Violence- Dating/Relationship/Domestic Violence is


prohibited. This type of violence may be emotional, verbal, physical and/or sexual abuse
by an intimate partner, family members or parties in a dating relationship.

39
Theft - Theft is the unlawful and unauthorized removal of any personal property for ones
own use.

Threat of Harm – Conveyances of threats, which result in, or may result in, harm to any
person by willful and deliberate means is prohibited.

(d) Victimology in a more wider contextJohn P. J. Dussich 4 in his article


Victimology - past, present and future presented at 131 st International Senior
Seminar as Visiting Experts’ Papers, described the following key concepts of
Victimology in a wider context as follows-. 4 Associate Professor, Criminology
Department, California State University U.S.A 27

1. “Victim” has its roots in the early religious notions of suffering, sacrifice and death.
This concept of “victim” was well known in the ancient civilizations, especially in
Babylonia, Palestine, Greece, and Rome. In each of these civilizations the law mandated
that the victim should be recognized as a person, who deserved to be made whole again
by the offender.

2. “Crime victim” is a person who has been physically, financially or emotionally injured
and/or had their property taken or damaged by someone committing a crime.1

3. “Victimogenesis” refers to the origin or cause of a victimization, the constellation of


variables which, caused a victimization to occur.

4. “Victim Precipitation” a victimization where the victim causes, in part or totally, their
own victimization.

5. “Vulnerability” is a physical, psychological, social, material or financial condition


whereby a person or an object has a weakness which could render them a victim if
another person or persons would recognize these weaknesses and take advantage of
them.

6. “General Victim” is a person who has been physieafiy, financially or emotionally


injured and/or had their property taken or damaged by someone, an event, an
organization or a natural phenomenon.

7. “Victimization” refers to an event where persons, communities and institutions are


damaged or injured in a significant way. Those persons who are impacted by persons
or events suffer a violation of rights or significant disruption of their well-being. 28

40
8. “Victimology” is an academic scientific discipline which studies data that describes
phenomena and causal relationships related to victimizations. This includes events
leading to the victimization, the victim’s experience, its aftermath and the actions taken
by society in response to these victimizations. Therefore, Victimology includes the
study of the precursors, vulnerabilities, events, impacts, recoveries, and responses by
people, organizations and cultures related to victimizations.
9. “Abuse of Power” is the violation of a national or international standard in the use of
organized powerful forces such that persons are injured physically, mentally,
emotionally, economically, or in their rights, as a direct and intentional result of the
misapplication of these forces.

10. “Victim Assistance, Support or Services” are those activities which are
applied in response to victimizations with the intention of relieving suffering and
facilitating recovery. This includes offering information, assessments, individual
interventions, case advocacy, system advocacy, public policy and programme
development.
