Why Do We Blame Victims?

www.ThePsychFiles.com Blaming the victim - why do we do it? For example, are rape victims responsible for what happens to them? Are victims of car crashes or other accidents responsible for what happened to them? These are the kinds of questions we examine as we look at the strange human tendency to blame the victim. We make all kinds of attributions as to why people do what they do - where do we often go wrong?

The truth is you don’t know how your autonomic nervous system will react in a moment like that, especially if it’s someone you know and believe wasn’t supposed to hurt you. I was a boxer and very fit, yet when my “friends” assaulted me I froze in disbelief and confusion. This is why I am now a biopsych major and had a part in recalling Judge Persky.
