If you&#x27;re going to say that crime victims can exercise judgement to avoid becoming victims, the exact same thing can be said for a defendant in criminal court. <i>&quot;If you didn&#x27;t go out at night, if you didn&#x27;t keep the wrong friends, if you stayed home with your family who can serve as your alibi, you wouldn&#x27;t be charged with this crime.&quot;</i> Saying that potential crime victims should limit how they live their lives, but potential defendants shouldn&#x27;t have to, is a double standard.
