victim discounting  

Definición

  • The term victim discounting refers to marginalization of the negative effects of a victim's experience, underreporting of victims in crime statistics, and disproportionate administrations of rewards and punishments by social institutions—primarily the law and media. Thus, victim discounting includes efforts to distort the harm of victimization, intentional or unintentional miscalculations of victimization reports, and biases in media coverage and the administration of criminal justice.
