00:00:00
you had said that the person or who they choose can also tell you something about
00:00:05
them so like how do you how do you view victimology well I mean victimology is probably one of the most important
00:00:11
things to do um we we look at two different things victimology and then the sucks the suspect themselves what it
00:00:18
takes to commit the crime is it high risk or low risk for him to commit the crime but you know we always take a step
00:00:23
back and say why is that person the victim when I ran Amber Alert in Pennsylvania um I always stepped back
00:00:30
and looked at that why is it the 5-year-old not the 12-year-old if they're both at the same location at the
00:00:35
same time um so we always look at victimology as far as why how does that person become a victim you know and and
00:00:41
they you kind of break them down into low-risk victim moderate and then a high-risk victim and you know are they
00:00:48
do they have behaviors themselves that put them at risk of being a victim of a crime so we really try to look at that
00:00:55
as far as the victimology a lot of cases that we look at and we get involved in and all and you know you know the Sherry
00:01:02
black case the deli case Colberg um they're all low-risk victims you wouldn't expect them to become the
00:01:09
victims of those violent crimes but they do so it's it speaks volumes about then
00:01:13
the offender and that high risk that the offender has to take to commit the crime
