	Victim blaming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Victim blaming is holding the victims of a crime to be in whole or in part responsible for what has happened to them.
		On this basis, the question is not whether the victim "deserved" to be raped, because nobody "deserves" to be the victim of crime, but rather whether the individual did choose to prevent or minimize the risk of being in a dangerous situation and/or the risk of harm in a dangerous situation.
		Typical rape shield laws prohibit cross-examination of the victim with respect to issues, such as his or her prior sexual history, or the manner in which he or she was dressed at the time of the rape.

	The Trouble with Liberals - ‘Blaming the Victim'
		It is one of the characteristics of victim blaming that the inequality of Capitalist society is not questioned, but rather the blame for certain suffering and social problems is instead shifted to become a problem inherent in the victim.

	James Alison on The Intelligence of the Victim
		A phrase that James Alison uses a great deal in his work is "the intelligence of the victim." It describes the revelation that begins to issue forth, through the power of the Spirit (the "Paraclete" in John's Gospel), as Jesus the Risen Victim appears to witnesses on Easter morning.
		According to mimetic theory, all human mythology is from the persepective of the victimizers, namely, the story of human culture generated at the expense of victims -- though the collective violence of culture is veiled behind the violence of the gods.
		So, the making of this man a victim, apparently in ignorance, and done to please God (Jesus had been judged a blasphemer) was in fact the condition which made it possible for God to be revealed for what he really is: the forgiving victim.
