The article proposes a reflection on the victim's participation in the criminal process from the Economic Analysis of Law, notably the Economic Theory of Crime (ETC).The problem consists of identifying what underpins the victim's participation in the criminal process and the potential said participation has in influencing the decision making process from the perspective of the ETC. It is possible to verify by using the deductive approach, bibliographical and documentary research reveal that the redefinition of the victim in the process is seen as enforcement to deter the commission of crimes by acting as a motivating factor to diminish criminal potential. At the end, a new mathematical formula representing criminal decision-making is proposed.
