Assess the ecology of victimization risk Victimization is more likely to take place in an open, public area, such as a street, a park, or a field. The more serious violent crimes, such as rape and aggravated assault, typically take place after 6 p.m. Those living in the central city have significantly higher rates of theft and violence victimizations than suburbanites; people living in rural areas have a victimization rate almost half that of city dwellers. Schools unfortunately are the site of a great deal of victimization because they are populated by one ol the most dangerous segments ofsociety, teenage males.
