Another role category on the continuum of increasing degrees of victim contribution to the crime problem is victim facilitation. In this situation, victims may unknowingly make it easier for a crime to occur by behaving carelessly, negligently, or even foolishly. The text author characterizes facilitation as a catalyst that speeds up the potential for a crime to occur. Examples include leaving keys dangling in the car ignition; leaving home and office doors unlocked or ajar or windows open; and telling strangers that you will be out of town for vacation for a period of time.
