A woman engaged in prostitution is more likely to find herself vulnerable to theft, assault, and other types of violent crimes. High-risk behaviors such as this create an increased likelihood of more violent crimes. Another woman works in a white-collar job and lives in the suburbs. Does this mean that she does not have to be concerned about crime? She is still at risk but in different ways.
What are the correlations between demographics and risk factors and the types of crimes people commit and are victimized by? Do certain types of people have a higher risk of committing particular crimes or becoming the victims of those crimes? In your Learning Resources this week, you examined the risk factors associated with becoming an offender or a victim. For this Assignment, you will take it one step further. First, you will select a case study in which risk factors are present and examine the correlation between risk factors and the types of crimes likely to occur. You will then make a determination as to the relative likelihood that a person will become an offender or a victim.

Based on the data you gathered in the Risk Assessment Template, address the following in your Assignment:
Summarize the case you selected.
Identify and analyze the demographics and risk factors (e.g., acute, direct, proxy, short and long term) present in the case that contribute to the subject becoming a victim or offender.
For offenders, identify and analyze the risk factors that may influence a person, once they have committed their first crime, to continue engaging in criminal behavior.
For victims, identify and analyze the risk factors that might facilitate continued victimization.
Explain whether there is a correlation between risk factors and the types of crimes that are likely to occur and why.
Rate the subject (on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being most likely) as to how likely is it they will commit a crime or become a victim.
Your conclusions should be supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources and properly cited using APA style.
