I, for one, am not familiar with the term "victim stance." Define it, or explain more fully, please.
Primary Victimization: One person targeted Secondary Victimization: Impersoanl Target Tertiary Victimization: Public is victim Mutual Victimization: Criminals become victims No Victimization: Difficult to identify victim
Mutual victimization refers to when offenders become victims, as when two people engage in a criminal activity and then one becomes the victim of the other.
The abstract noun form for the concrete noun 'victim' is victimization.
did you mean victimisation? it may also be spelled as victimization. basically it means to be a victim, as in to be treated unfairly(the term may be used loosely because the accusation is in the eyes of the victim)
Victims are not responsible for the crimes committed against them, regardless of their lifestyle choices. Blaming victims for their victimization can perpetuate victim-blaming attitudes and shift focus away from holding perpetrators accountable. It is important to address the root causes of crime and work towards preventing victimization through education and support.
"Co-victim" is not a widely recognized term. It may be confused with "co-victimization," which refers to individuals who are affected by another person's experience of victimization. It is preferable to use more specific and widely understood terms when describing individuals impacted by a crime or traumatic event.

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.
It is important for victimologists to remain objective because their role is to study victimization objectively without bias, allowing for a more accurate understanding of the causes and consequences of victimization. Being pro-victim may lead to biased interpretations of data and hinder the development of effective strategies to prevent and address victimization. Objectivity ensures that victimologists can provide unbiased research and recommendations to support victims.
Three words associated with "victim" are "suffering," "perpetrator," and "trauma." These terms highlight the experience of being harmed, the individual responsible for the harm, and the emotional or psychological impact on the victim. Together, they encapsulate the complexities of victimization and its consequences.
Victim typology refers to the classification of victims based on specific characteristics, circumstances, or experiences related to their victimization. This framework helps researchers and practitioners understand the diverse backgrounds and situations of victims, facilitating tailored responses and support mechanisms. By categorizing victims, it becomes easier to identify patterns, assess risks, and develop targeted interventions to prevent future victimization.
There seems to be a typo in your sentence. Victimization typically refers to the act of someone being made a victim or suffering harm as a result of a situation. It can range from physical harm to emotional manipulation and can have long-lasting negative effects on individuals.
