And when we imply that victims bring on their own fates - whether to make ourselves feel more efficacious or to make the world seem just - we prevent ourselves from taking the necessary precautions to protect ourselves.

Victims are often already full of self-doubt, and we make recovery harder by laying inspectors blame on them.
