Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The just-world hypothesis assumes that individuals get what they deserve, which implies that only "innocent" victims are true victims. This is a major problem because it discounts the experiences of those who may have contributed to their own victimization or who do not fit the stereotype of the "innocent victim." The other statements are not major problems associated with the just-world hypothesis: A is incorrect because the just-world hypothesis assumes people are in control of their environment; C is incorrect because the just-world hypothesis creates a false sense of security about the risks of crime and victimization; and D is incorrect because victim and offender typologies are not related to the just-world hypothesis.
