What are the common traits of the victims?

When examining the common traits of victims, several patterns emerge. First and foremost, victims often possess a vulnerability or a perceived weakness that makes them an easy target for perpetrators. This vulnerability can manifest in various forms, such as age, social status, physical or mental disabilities, or even socio-economic circumstances. Additionally, victims often display a high level of trust in others, which may stem from their belief in a fundamentally good nature of human beings. Unfortunately, this trust can be exploited by offenders who take advantage of the victims' openness and naivety. Finally, victims tend to have limited or inadequate support systems, often lacking close relationships or access to resources that could help them resist or escape abusive or harmful situations. Understanding these common traits can aid in developing strategies to protect potential victims and provide necessary support to those who have already experienced victimization.
