Crime in general can happen anywhere to anyone. There are steps one can take to minimize your chances of becoming victimized - my mother was traveling in an area known to be worked by teams of pickpockets. She didn't take any of the recommended precautions and was taken for 650 euros.
She was foolish, but that in no way made the crime less of a crime.
Likewise, there is a forest near here that has many walking and jogging trails. Quite some time ago, it was also being worked by a serial rapist. Avoiding going there alone would be prudent, but not doing so wouldn't make anything that happened the victim's fault.
