"[MULTIPLE-SSELECT] Who is most likely to be victimized at home?Women are more likely to be victimized in the home. They are the main victims of reported and unreported sexual violence (Finney, 2006; Nicholas et al., 2007). This gendered pattern of violence is notable around the world, especially in Latin America and Africa (Newman, 1999).

"[MULTIPLE-MSELECT] ´Victimless crimes´ can arguably include which of the following?´Victimless crimes´ such as certain sexual acts between consenting adults, prostitution and buying and selling of some illegal drugs have often been cited in this context (Schur, 1965; Croall, 2001). These are forms of behaviour that may be illegal but are consensual in nature. Because no criminal victimization is occurring, the participants have no reason to complain to the police.

=Buying and selling of some illegal drugs
People trafficking
Dumping of toxic waste

"[MULTIPLE-MSELECT] Which of the following are at the lower end of the victim hierarchy?The ´low-status, powerless groups´ (Reiner, 2000: 93) whom the dominant majority in society see as troublesome or distasteful generally occupy the lower end of the hierarchy of victimization. Examples would be the homeless, the unemployed, those with alcohol and drug problems, prostitutes, refugees, asylum seekers, youth adopting a deviant cultural style, football fans, and radical political organizations.

Each of these strands defines the scope of the discipline differently, reflects a particular understanding of the problem of crime, and connects with different positions within the victims´ movement.

"[MULTIPLE-MSELECT] Crime victimization surveys have serious limitations - which ones apply from this list?Although crime victimization surveys have helped to redress an imbalance in early criminological works, provide insights into the hidden figures of crime and sensitize policymakers to the range and diversity of victim experiences with crime, they too have serious limitations. For one thing, they suffer from a general inability to tap certain forms of crime where there is no direct or clearly identifiable victim. Crime victimization surveys therefore carry with them limited notions about what is crime and who are the victims.
{
=They suffer from a narrow definition of crime
They are not representative
=They are culturally representative
Bias of the respondents
Too subjective
