A significant body of research has established risk factors for violent victimization; however, risk factors vary based on the type of violent victimization. You’ve had a chance to review some examples of risk factors as they apply to specific types of violent crime, and in this assignment, you will explore how risk factors vary across two separate violent crime types.
Instructions
In this assignment, you will first identify two different types of violent victimization that you would like to focus on for this assignment. Be specific in your choice of victimization types. For example, you will be able to find more specific information if you select intimate partner homicide than if you select homicide more generally. Then you will conduct a library search to identify at least 3 scholarly sources that discuss risk factors relevant to two separate types of violent victimization. You will use the scholarly sources to create a table.
Include the following in your table:
Detail the risk factors for your first selected victimization type.
Detail the risk factors for your second selected victimization type.
Describe your understanding of why some risk factors remain the same across the two victimization types.
Describe your understanding of why some risk factors differ from each other across the two victimization types.
Length: 3 to 4-page table, not including title and reference pages
References: Support your assignment with at least 3 scholarly resources.
The completed assignment should address all the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations and current APA standards.
