VICTIMOLOGY REVISITED A Critique and Suggestions for Future Direction
Clyde W. Franklin, Alice Pickett Franklin · Criminology · 1976
Abstract Recent theoretical and research contributions related to victimology generally have supported earlier ideas of victim precipitation implied by von Hentig, Mendelsohn, Ellenberger, and others. Here we identify and evaluate some of the underlying assumptions of victim precipitation. In addition, suggestions are offered for the future development of victim‐precipitation explanatory formulations in victimology.
