The more advanced a society is the more behaviours will be defined as victimizing and the higher the recorded victimisation will be. At first glance this may seem like a paradox but it is actually quite understandable. The steady progression towards a more humane society continuously requires a broadening of the definition of victimisation. This inevitably leads to the identification and addition of previously acceptable or tolerated behaviours to existing lists of victimizing acts. Not only this, but as society moves forward on the path of humanity the awareness of hidden and not too hidden types of victimisation is enhanced and the recognition of subtle kinds and forms of victimizing behaviours is sharpened. Growing humanitarianism also leads to a heightened awareness of the pervasiveness, the extent and seriousness of various types of victimisation. It further generates an enhanced sensitivity to the pain and suffering of various types of victims whose plight was previously unacknowledged, belittled or ignored. This is bound to result in commendable intensive efforts to identify, help and protect hidden, predisposed and vulnerable victims. It also leads to a much deeper understanding of the close link between victimisation and offending and the interchangeable roles of victim and victimiser. And as Victimology has amply shown, in advanced societies, the major part of violence is not predatory but retaliatory in nature.
