I think that the phrase "victim blaming" is a tad misleading. My understanding is that it attempts to convey the poor attribution of MOST blame onto the victim, rather than the perpetrator.
An analogy is that of a tourist wandering into a rough area of a foreign town and getting murdered. Certainly the tourist's behaviour contributed to their death and in that way perhaps they are in some way to blame. But, obviously, the murderer is actially to blame.
