Does a person bear some of the responsibility for his or her victimization because the lifestyle they lead increases the chances of becoming a victim?
Victims are not responsible for the crimes committed against them, regardless of their lifestyle choices.

It is important to address the root causes of crime and work towards preventing victimization through education and support.

What is secondary victims?
Secondary victimization occurs when the societal response to a victimizing stigma is more disabling than the primary stigmatic condition itself. This may include the treatment by society of victims of rape, disability, mental disorder, or other social stigma. The consequences may also extend further degrees, e.g. to tertiary victimization and quaternary victimization. ex. A victim of rape (primary victimization) may be subjected to victim blaming and ostracism as the result of the attack; those who become disabled (primary victimization) may be subjected to non-accommodation, medicalization, and segregation; and those who develop mental disorder (primary victimization) may be subject to institutionalization, that in each case may be far more victimizing to these individuals and limiting of their life opportunity than the primary victimizing stigmatic condition itself, and are thus called secondary victimization. Tertiary victimizations would include the victimizing consequence of secondary victimizations, e.g. results of victim blaming, ostracism, non-accommodation, medicalization, segregation, and institutionalization, etc. by society.
When is Victimization most likely to occur?
Victimization is most likely to occur when individuals are in vulnerable situations, such as being alone in an unsafe area, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or when carrying valuable items. It can also happen in situations where there is a power imbalance, such as in cases of domestic abuse or workplace harassment.
Why do people choose victimization?
People may choose victimization as a way to gain sympathy, attention, or power in certain situations. It can also be a result of mental health issues, trauma, or learned behavior from past experiences.
What is after tertiary victimization?
Tertiary means "third". Tertiary victimization means that another person, besides the immediate victim, was vicitmized as the result of the perpetrator's actions. For example: A drunk driver kills a father of four kids in an auto accident. The father is the immediate victim. His wife is the secondary victim because she's now left with the entire responsibility of supporting the children. The four kids are tertiary victims because they suffer the impact of the loss of their father's support AND now must take on some of the responsibilities to help their mother, financially or otherwise, provide for the family.
