Abstract: The article hereby analyzes aspects regarding the behaviour, typology and mental status of deceit victims, as fighting deceit offences effectively implies knowing the specifics of the victims of these crimes. The offence of deceit is performed against people with specific psychological traits, which allow criminals to derive unjust material gains by depossessing these victims of goods through lying and dishonest behaviour. Victims of deceit are primarily people with reduced abilities to anticipate the intentions of the deceivers, those who do not conduct themselves with general prudence, and tend to accept signing documents which result in deceit with greater ease than others. Effective preventive actions for deceit offences involve knowing the particular aspects of victim behaviour, and designing prevention measures should not be solely based on the profiles of offenders, but also on the particular traits of victims within the context of these offences.
