It is all a process of studying human behavior and environments. We would not know all we know about offending and victimization if we did not know how certain victims and certain offenders end up "at the 'wrong'/'right' place at the 'wrong'/'right' time."
Everything I typed about victim precipitation must be read within the context of everything else I typed in this thread. If you have read some of my posts, you will know that I am not blaming Martin and do not believe he was in the wrong if he confronted Zimmerman. My personal opinion on that aside, that does not negate the fact that this probably would not have occurred if the context were different for both Zimmerman and Martin.
