The ideal victim
The “ideal victim,” a concept developed by Nils Christie, describes someone society views as deserving of sympathy. They are typically seen as innocent, vulnerable, respectable, and harmed by a powerful stranger. Victims who do not fit this stereotype may face victim blaming, reduced support, or less media attention.
