Blaming the victim is known to occur in rape and sexual assault cases, where the victim
of the crime is often accused of inviting the attack due to her clothing or behavior.
Ideal Victim is one who is afforded the status of victimhood due to unavoidable
circumstances that put the individual at a disadvantage
Example :
1. When you drive on the street and a careless person runs into you and you get hurt
and injured. But instead of healing the wound, the family member say : Why are you
traveling so carelessly ?
2. When a classmate flunks a test, for example, you probably attribute their behavior to
a variety of internal characteristics. You might believe that the other student didn’t
study hard enough, isn’t smart enough, or is just plain lazy. If you were to fail a test,
however, what would you blame your poor performance on? In many cases, people
blame their failings on external sources. You might protest that the room was too hot
and you couldn’t concentrate, or that the teacher didn’t grade the test fairly or
included too many trick questions.
 fundamental attribution error. This bias involves attributing other

people’s behaviors to internal, personal characteristics while ignoring
external forces and variables that also might have played a role.
3. You have mild or severve illness and you think its unfortunate but people say :
Karma, you had better take up exercises more regularly.
