There are several reasons why crime still persists. Even though human society has changed a lot over the past 8000 years or so, human beings have not changed very much. We are still, on the whole, a selfish and foolish species. Selfish people like to cheat. This can be done by committing crimes. But there are various other reasons why people commit crime besides selfishness. Some people are unable to control their anger, and therefore commit crimes of violence. Some people are insane and don't know what they are doing, or don't know why it is wrong to commit crimes. Some people are motivated by religious fanaticism. Some people have political motivations. If you believe that a law is unjust, you may not be willing to obey it. And unjust laws do exist. Drug addicts are often compelled by their addiction to commit crimes.

What percentage of homicides are victim precipitated?

Victims precipitate 0% of all homicides. The decision to commit the crime is still made by the perpetrator and always precipitated by that person. No matter how dumb, naive, careless, greedy, or even guilty of a crime the victim may be, the person who decides to commit the crime against them is still the perpetrator and the person who was subject to the crime is still the victim. The percentage of occurrence that the perpetrator is the only victim of their own crime is negligible, and that person is still the perpetrator.
