- Sometimes the innocence of victims is questioned - for instance by revealing previous sexual experiences of a rape victim, or assuming that someone who has been assaulted must have provoked the perpetrator. Why does this happen? Malin Joleby, PhD student in psychology, explains the psychological mechanism behind victim blaming.
This is a series in which researchers from the research unit for Criminal, Legal and Investigative Psychology (CLIP) at the University of Gothenburg give straightforward explanations of what research shows about legal psychological issues.

Victim blaming is easier and less painful than aknowledging the core issue. Basically it is the path of "least resistance".
They THINK it is easier or less painful. It is like blaming someone for pointing out that they are drowning yet you as your head slowly sinking as well use your last remaning energy to drag THEM down? You do not deserve my sympathy.
Staying in the problem that already exists and slowly pick it's victims(including you) is already the WORST outcome so you have NO REASON to act like garbage.
It is literally for your own sake as well.
Also it is not easy as well since evil is NOT a part of you(i mean if you still have a soul/feelings) so it is literally UNNATURAL to act evil.
These are just pathetic reasons to be a walking cancer
Just be a good person and treat people as you wish to be treated!
Not for the victim it's not and the more it happens the longer our scars bleed out. It makes it worse. It's a cope out for those that feel bad that it happened to someone else while they decimate how the victim feels. It's not about how that person feels about something that happened to the victim it's about how the victim is hurting and needs care. Respect and compassion. I've lived victim blaming in virtually everything and half the dam time it feels worse to be trodden upon after and held responsible for another's evil actions than it did to be physically attacked. My brother hurt me back then but the dam victim blaming continues to this day and it even happens in everything else as well. We can't forget because others won't let us and they punish us every day by blaming us.
It’s disgusting to see these types of people that blame victims
and then THEY play the victim card! nasty pos trash!
Because victim history is absolutely crucial to
the crime investigation. People generally dont blame victims they seek why certain victims intertwined with the certain criminal at that hour and time.
Well people blame beacuse they don't belive till given proof
@Tara Allen Many women prefer to be in an abusive relationship with a hot guy than be in a non abusive relationship with a not hot guy. Look around you it happens ALL THE TIME
I mean when this guy said my pain was in my head he was on meth. So I'm not taking his word.
Victim blaming exist because of the Karma Theory, we were taught that this world is fair, bad things only happened to bad people, but in reality, this world isn't fair, good people doesn't always get awarded and bad people doesn't always get punished, bad things can happen to good people, most victim blamers rejected the idea of an imperfect world, they refused to accept that bad things does happen to innocent people, they think that if bad things happen to someone, that must be karma.
Karma isn't real
Feels pointless to speak out especially in my community
Same
When your community doesn’t hear you going outside community becomes our only option. Fear holds us back - determination beats fear.
It even appears in simple things like self improvement on UA-cam and google searches. No matter how I word it or what elements I'm trying to find advice on everything is displayed as it's my fault.
The world has become obsessed with blaming the wrong person in basically everything. It makes me sick and furious.
Victim blaming is easier because they don't want to be the next target by the perpetrator/s. It's disgusting.
Which means by ignoring it and literally covering for the predator will make it easier for it to attack THEM. "Genius"
It’s simple, we victim blame because we don’t like to think bad things can happen to us.
Then SOLVE THE ACTRUAL problem(support victims, blame and punish the criminals or treat the situation) instead of making it worse.
It’s so bad, it’s nearly everyone who victim blames, a lack of insight and tone of horrible advice.
My parents blamed me for getting molested I was 14. I had to put the person in jail. They never looked at me or said anything to me except that I ,you knew what you were doing and you and you put yourself in that situation ! Years later still hard to ptocess
i was online groomed when i was 13 and omfg the blaming from my parents was so big, my dad still wants to blame me till this day as if i, who didn't even develop an identity, knew everything about the world to do something against the "man" who did that to me
all of that was followed by invalidating and stuff, and i couldn't report anything to the police bc we lost the evidence
@@anotherone8941 years later my dad had a restaurant. I worked with him even though I became visually impaired at 24 I still work there but he brought my sister there with all of our anger issues and rage alongside her two criminal girlfriends a mother and daughter team who were not only collecting a fraudulent disability but we're also stealing and collecting money under the table. The mother and daughter my sister's girlfriends kept calling out calling out. I became legally blind visually impaired that I could not read tickets to be in the kitchen to work but they still put me there my father and my sister every order I got wrong she would look at me bite her fist and then keep punching the wall they were times I was afraid to be alone with her. I confronted her girlfriends just please stop calling out one of the girlfriend's husband later both the restaurant weeks before that the mother and the daughter conspire to put coins in my salad hoping that I would break my teeth or choke on the coins knowing I was visually impaired. I was pretty much in shock and disassociative in the event happened because I didn't realize how evil these people were. My dad got rid of the surveillance footage and to add insult to injury him and my mother went to the girl's wedding gave them money celebrated I think that was the most evil cruel thing they could have ever done was. Right before my dad died I told him that if he keeps protecting and honoring those criminals don't call me his son he cursed me out in a month later I found he died of a heart attack and did not want me at the funeral or to even know. Long story short. Watching a crime happen and doing nothing is just as guilty as being involved. Believe me one way or another his evil Acts would come around to him
Sorry but your parents are awful. They are probably conservative.
I have always wondered about this and drawn the same conclusions. I feel reassured that someone agrees with me. Unfortunately, I have met exactly the same blame the victim attitude in therapists. It has made me eventually decide to never see a therapist again, and build my life as best as I can.
Victim blaming is wrong
Agree, sometimes people is very unfear and mean besides the video explaining, some people is just bad shit

I have never understood how people can victim blame. The only time I did victim blaming was when I was a kid. I was watching an episode of Balika vadhu with my mother. One of the characters was almost raped. And another character said it was the victim's fault and on top of that my Mom said the same thing ( ( Because we like to discuss what happens in TV shows or movies )
And I agreed with her because I didn't think much at that age. I thought he was right just because he was older than me. So "my opinion" was artificial rather than natural. Fortunately, shortly after that, I developed my own opinion.Because I started thinking more about the concept of rape
and I realized that it is something horrible and that it is toxic for the victim to be treated like this. It's terrible to go through something bad and have people judge and shame you instead of being there for you.
I realized that it is bad for your mental health to be alone and blamed during such horrible times. Victims are also discouraged from speaking out through this phenomenon. I also realized that the victim is not guilty. Because it's not the way we dress, behave, the places we go, the times, etc. that create rapists. These "people" choose to commit crimes and they are not normal people who change overnight at the sight of a woman's skin or whatever
. There is no real causal relationship between the victim and the criminal. The criminal's actions are decided independently and he is not influenced by what he sees. Let's not forget the fact that people should have the right to wear what they want and do anything in general. It's so stupid to blame people for doing something that should be their right. If you decide to hurt someone who is just living life, it's your fault. Because doing what I want is my right and I should be able to do that. But committing crimes is illegal and it's your choice. To blame for something means to cause. And as long as you didn't hurt anyone, I'm not to blame for someone else's actions on me. Because I am not the cause and I only deserve to have my rights.. People who blame the victim have no empathy. Because they would not care if the victim did something or not and would think more about this subject. You have to see things from an empathic perspective because this way you can also reach a rational one. Because when you feel bad for someone, you don't jump to conclusions and you're willing to think about whether they're really guilty or not. Even if someone is guilty of what he experienced, it does not mean that it is ok to judge him. Because that doesn't change what happened and it's just toxic for mental health and society.I say this because people act as if you have committed a crime and you are no longer entitled to mercy. For example, I had seen a case of a man eaten by a bear. The man loved the bears and often went to stay among them during the "safe periods"
He went for many years and gained confidence that nothing could happen.But unfortunately, he suffered a brutal death when he went for the last time. Some people made jokes about him and others judged him very harshly.Some people even enjoyed his suffering. All those comments disgusted me. Is it his fault in this case? Yes , Because bears are animals that cannot rationalize on the same level as humans and also, bears only hunt to survive. So you can't expect a bear not to do that and he can't answer to the law. So it is your responsibility to stay away from them. BUT even in these cases it is NOT ok to judge the victims. Because victim blaming has the same negative effect and doesn't solve anything. And why does someone deserve to be "cancelled" if he makes a mistake and suffers?. We will always make mistakes and in some cases we will create dangers without wanting to. But if I am guilty of something, it does not mean that I no longer deserve empathy or respect. People are not perfect beings and it is impossible not to make mistakes that lead to dangers.
We must accept this truth and be with the people who are suffering. Let's not blame them for a mistake. It is also very cruel to ignore all of a person's suffering because of a mistake. It's not like he's a bad person or committed a crime. What is the relevance of who is to blame when the suffering is real and the person in question did not want it? WTF
Also misogyny. Societal mindset- beliefs and values towards women. I know men can also be victims- but I think it also applies.
sometime ago i watched a rape case and i see those comments and i feel so bad that the people blaming the victim . And these are so called muslims. And giving so called over knowledge

Nope ,NEVER .
@@SmearCampaignsAreEvil there are times were victim blaming should be used, of course im going to blame you for being fat because It was your option to eat to much or to not do any exercises
You're a part of the problem. No compassion. No sympathy. You're the type of person to blame someone simply walking down the street of a nice neighborhood for getting randomly shot.
