Introduction:
When someone exposes themselves to dangerous places, this is the Deviant place theory. I explore what type of safety precautions can be taken to not become a victim and how to practice situational awareness at al times. Theories are in place that Victimization is a cause or an effect of a action, whether it is passive or an aggressive act. The Victim precipitation theory is based on the victim taking part in the crime due to suggestive signals or subliminal clues that the criminal picks up on and commits the crime based on the assumption. My paper on Victimology is based on scientific readings, community and personal experiences as it relates to situational awareness. I conclude my paper with a tribute to the victims of the Aurora Theater Shooting, and how they will always be remembered, never forgotten.
Neighborhood Deviance
It is a well-known fact that certain neighborhoods create more opportunity for crime, and criminal behavior. This is despite repeated turnovers in the composition of their populations. Take for instance the area called 5 points in downtown Denver, this area has had a high level of criminal activity ever since the first houses were built. The area lends itself to a high level of diverse traffic, and includes homeless shelters and daily workforce centers amongst the schools and head start programs in the neighborhood.
Renovation efforts in the 5 points area, which were stared 15 years ago, brought in white collar workers who were buying up and renovating the historic home properties, building playgrounds and parks, and revitalizing the area with a high level of income influx.
These “kind of people” were supposed to turn this area around into a suburbia population right in the heart of downtown. The downtown workforce was finding that the ‘points’ was the up and coming place to be.
