What is victim contribution?

Victim contribution refers to the degree to which a victim's actions or circumstances may have played a role in the occurrence of a crime or harmful event. This concept is often examined in legal contexts, particularly in determining liability or fault in cases such as personal injury or wrongful death. While it can influence judgments or compensation, it raises ethical concerns about blaming victims for their victimization. Ultimately, the focus should remain on the perpetrator's responsibility for their actions.
