noun victimologies
- The study of the victims of crime, and especially of the reasons some people are more prone to be victims.
- The attitude of seeing oneself as a victim, especially in a way that is self-absorbed or indulgent. The whole thing has rotted into a festival of bad faith and victimology, those twin markers of the Trump-Twitter Decade: rather an irony for a show organized under the sign of friendship.
