Patterns of victimisation -

Class - poorest groups are more likely to be victimised. Crime rates are typically highest in areas of high unemployment and deprivation. Marginalised groups are most likely to become victims

Age - younger people are at more risk of victimisation. Those most at risk of being murdered are infants under one. Teenagers are more vulnerable than adults to offences including sexual assault

Ethnicty - minority ethnic groups are at greater risk than whites of being victims of crime in general as well as racially motivated crimes

Gender - males are at greater risk than females of becoming victims of violent attacks. Women are more likely to be victims of DV, sexual violence, stalking etc.

Repeat Victimisation - If you have been a victim once, you are likely to be one again
