Robert Poste's Child Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Seriously, though, are there any crimes where you'd feel comfortable saying the victim was asking for it?

There are many muggers who commit crime not because of poverty, but because ( amongst other reasons) 1.They want something for nothing and have no wish to work for 2. Have a drug habit to support 3. Are simply envious of an individual who may well have worked hard to buy a luxury item such as a phone, car, shoes (yes there have been unfortunates mugged for thier footwear), and vent their spleen by stealing. To put these muggings purely down to austerity cuts is quite simply ludicrous.It is also possible that those guilty of muggings are sociopaths Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/45125-walking-around-with-expensive-phones-is-asking-for-it/#findComment-752561 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkdrive Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 So if a woman decides to wear revealing or skimpy clothing because that's what she feels comfortable in, would she deemed to be "asking for it"?

KidKruger Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 No because that doesn't support the attack on people with some wealth.
