Victim-Blame
quote
Ironically, belief in a just world can get in the way of actual justice by leading people to victim-blame: The sexual assault victim "should have worn different clothes" or the welfare recipient "is just lazy." Victims of circumstance are actually blamed for their circumstances, with no accounting for factors of randomness like the birth lottery.
