Crime victimization

More than an accidental injury, more than a serious illness, more than a natural disaster, the trauma of crime victimization goes beyond physical and psychological injury: It robs us of the very faith we have in the human world. Although eclipsed in recent headlines by terrorism, the common everyday violations of civilized behavior that our own citizens continue to perpetrate on one another are no less wrenching.

Governmentality identifies that regulation is constituted by micro instances of rule rather than by a centralised power or agent. Governmentality challenges the assumption that regulation is effected by centralised government over a constituency, arguing instead that regulatory practices exist everywhere, in the particular, such that macro regimes of rule can be deconstructed into their constitutive rationales and programs (Foucault, 1982, 1991; Dean, 1999).

Today’s society is fascinated by crime. Crime and deviance have taken on a cultural significance they never previously had. As a result, crime is a hot topic in the media and one that leads people to be continually exposed to criminal events, portrayals of those who commit them, and the suffering of victims. Most of the crime we experience, we experience vicariously. But the bias in crime reporting is such that it is easy to get the wrong idea about the reality of crime.

All Americans have a stake in effective response to hate crimes. These crimes demand priority attention because of their special impact. Bias crimes are designed to intimidate the victim and members of the victim’s community, leaving them feeling isolated, vulnerable, and unprotected by the law. Failure to address this unique type of crime could cause an isolated incident to explode into widespread community tension. The damage done by hate crimes, therefore, cannot be measured solely in terms of physical injury or dollars and cents.

Let’s face it, as long as it’s not happening to you, crime is pretty entertaining. Every offense, from shoplifting to murder, combines danger and excitement with emotions like greed, anger, and the urge to make very close friends in prison. The dastardly deeds are often outrageous and sometimes hair-raising, but we can’t seem to rip our eyes from the wreckage criminals make of their own lives and the lives of their victims. The dark side of human behavior both repulses and fascinates us.

Particularly for rented apartments, key control by apartment management is an important issue.

In the 1950s and 1960s intellectual discussions of crime were dominated by the opinion that criminal behavior was caused by mental illness and social oppression, and that criminals were helpless “victims.” A book by a well- known psychiatrist was entitled The Crime of Punishment (see Menninger [1966]). Such attitudes began to exert a major influence on social policy, as laws changed to expand criminals’ rights. These changes reduced the appre- hension and conviction of criminals, and provided less protection to the law-abiding population....
