dc.description.abstractEvery crime is targeted at someone or something. Criminal victimisation is not just a concept, but a major area of research interest in victimology – a subfield of criminology. Thus, criminologists interested in criminal victimisation beam their searchlight to understanding its extent, pattern, cause, as well as its effect. Hence, this work aims at conceptual and theoretical review of the concept. In achieving the foregoing aim, the study, therefore, relies on secondary sources of data such as published works, journals, textbook, internet-based materials, among others. Based on the theoretical review, it was found that the cause(s) of criminal victimisation is multidimensional, ranging from victim precipitation, lifestyle-exposure risk factors, social disorganisation as found in victimogenic place, absence of capable guardian as espoused by routine activities theory, among others.
