Many theories underpin victimization. Early victimologists like von Hentig and Mendelsohn have based their theories on the offender and victim relationship. Both theories believe that the victim has some culpability, and victims intentionally made themselves available for the crimes. Mendelsohn typology, however, separates the victim that felt are more responsible for the crime compared to the offenders. Mendelsohn divided the typologies into five major types. Namely, victims with minor crimes, those who participated in crimes, victims with minor guilty, and those who are guilty than the offenders. Both theories have emphasized the fact that victims bear little or no responsibility regarding their victimization.
