Do you agree with Victim Blaming?
In the case of violent/sexual attacks, some argue that the victim may have been "asking for it" by acting or dressing in a provocative manner. Similarly, in the case of theft, some blame the victim for perhaps not securing their property adequately.
Do you agree that it can be the fault of the victim in some cases? Or is victim blaming never right?

Personally I think that although the victim wasn't asking for it and can't be solely blamed, they should acknowledge that their behaviour/manner may be irresponsible and that they weren't setting themselves up well.
