“Victimisation is defined in the Act as: Treating someone badly because they have done a ‘protected act’ (or because you believe that a person has done or is going to do a protected act).”(Unknown, 2010) In a workplace victimisation is defined as punishing or threatening to punish someone because they asserted their rights under equal opportunity law, made a complaint about someone or refused to do something because it would be discrimination, sexual harassment or victimisation. In this essay I am going to talk about different terms of victimisation and the types of victimisation that there is. I will also talk about the different people that this happens to and why this happens more to certain people. I am also going to talk about some theories of victimisation which will lead into the discussion. There are a few different terms of victimisation, the first term is peer victimisation, this is the experience of children that are targets of aggressive behaviour from other children who aren’t related to them and not age mates. This would include being bullied and being a target of physical, social, emotional or psychological damage from another kid or group of kids. “peer victimisation is a concern because researchers have found that victimised youth are more likely to have elevated levels of depression, loneliness and anxiety), lower self-concept, and poor academic outcomes” (Jenkins, L, & Demaray, M, 2015) because of this a child could develop problems with their behaviour
This essay will discuss the ways in which gender influences patterns and processes of victimisation, identifying key victimological perspectives and typologies. It will consider key authors in the discipline and offer definitions of terms used. The essay will identify three issues which may impact on gendered victimisation before acknowledging the argument that radical victimology offers a more balanced approach to gendered victimisation than positivist or critical viewpoints.
There are a handful of differences and similarities from an Ancient Greek drinking vessel and a Starbucks cup some people may not take into consideration. While comparing and contrasting a Starbucks coffee cup and Ancient Greek drinking vessels I will take careful notation into the differences and similarities of their form, function and decoration of the artifacts. I will go into careful detail of what the ancient Greeks used to create their drinking vessels. Also, I will elaborate the functions that the Ancient Greeks first had in mind and what uses they had during the different time periods. Another important aspect of the ancient Greek drinking vessels and Starbucks cup are the decorations and logos. This plays an important role in
Many people are affected negatively, mainly is younger children. There is approximately 15% of girls and 18% of boys reported being victimized at least twice over the same time period.It is a huge number that being bullied at
Victimisation occurs when an employer is treated unfavourably, disadvantaged or subjected to a detriment because they have made or supported a complaint of discrimination or raised a grievance under the Equality Act, this policy or the Harassment, Bullying and Discrimination policy or because they are suspected of doing so. (However, an employee is not protected from victimisation if they have maliciously made or supported an untrue complaint). An example, of this is when an employee requests to work flexibly and their manager refuses their request because they supported a colleague in a complaint of discrimination.
• Victimisation: discrimination against someone because they made or supported a complaint under Equality Act legislation.
Victimizing children to attract attention is a coping mechanism
During the study it has been found that victims that have suffered childhood abuse also have exposure to multiple types of abuse such as maltreatment and bullying. Also the effect depends on
Victimization is a consequence of the weak terrorizing the weaker. Individuals that commit acts of discrimination, bias or other kinds of isolated mischief bear some form of deficiency. It has been explained that victims can originate from crime attributed with society, families and peers. They can usually be identified from the Victimology theory profile. Surroundings, environment and opportunity are only some of many components that provoke people to victimize others. September 11, 2001 was a black day that America will not easily forget; however, it certainly not licenses Americans to abuse Arab Americans.
Victimization comes in many different forms such as assault, child physical/sexual abuse, stalking, theft, rape, sexual harassment, and domestic/relationship violence. There are several negative outcomes that have been linked with childhood abuse and neglect such as neurobiological changes, emotional and psychiatric disorders, interpersonal issues and substance abuse problems (Min, Singer, Minnes, Kim, & Short, 2012). According to Reid and Sullivan (2009), children and adolescents are very vulnerable and are the most highly victimized individuals of the population and the kinds of victimization that they experience can come in many forms (Finkelhor et al., 2009). This victimization is known as poly-victimization (Finkelhor et al., 2009).
The more vulnerable person is harmed physically and psychologically through verbal insults, social isolation, and assault.
“People dominate animals, men dominate women.” Each is a relation of hierarchy, an inequality, with particularities and variations within and between them. (Cite Orange book pg. 92.) For centuries, women have been viewed and used as a man’s “property”, whether it is being used for sexual satisfaction or for the sake of bearing children and taking care of the home. Men are typically perceived as head of the household and whatever they say goes; anything to satisfy their hunger for power and control. Have women ever had a say about what they want to use their bodies for? Laws against rape may have changed over time, but men’s consistent aggressive behavior unfortunately, has not.
Bullying can be hard to define, because research has shown that it comes in many forms which makes it difficult to find one set of characteristics that will describe a bully. Conclusively, studies have defined bullying as a set of repeated aggressive behavior that is intended to harm someone, which usually involves an imbalance of power between the victim and the perpetrator (Morgan, 2012, p. 174). Studies have shown that there are two distinct types of bullying, which is a direct form of verbal and physical aggression, and indirect, which often results in name calling, rumors and exclusion (Aluedse, 2006, p. 38). This form of peer victimization can have devastating effects on a child 's academic work and their physical and psychological well being (Limber, 2003, p. 23). In terms of gender, boys are more likely to be involved in physical bullying (direct) as for girls are more likely to be involved in indirect bullying (Wang et al, 2009, p. 371). Previous research indicates, that parents and friends are two important factors of social interaction associated with bullying and victimization among adolescences. Bullying is quite common among middle school children, because it is during this time that children go through puberty and hormonal changes. During this time students are looking to be accepted and fit into a specific group; however, when there is a lack of acceptance and esteem due to victimization, this can cause children to isolate themselves from those around them
Many kids all around the world are abused by their parents, peers or even by complete strangers. One of these types of abuse is bullying. At a first glance, we might think that it is an older kid beating/teasing a younger classmate however; bullying consists of much more than this. The basic definition of bullying is when your behavior hurts or harms another person physically or emotionally. There are many different types of bullying, which may lead to a victim becoming violent later on. There is teasing and name calling, there is also picking and shoving the kid. However, the most extreme one would be beating up the child, hurting them physically and mainly, emotionally.

1Did you know that smoking can lead to impotence in males, which means those who smoke marijuana have an increased chance of becoming impotent and infertile? Many people don’t know the downsides of marijuana usage, as the public is often blinded by the strong support for pure legalization in every state. Marijuana in of itself is not entirely harmful, but extended use of the drug, or smoking, causes harmful effects to the human body.
