This technique of neutralization is called "Denial of the Victim". It is where an offender is in the belief that the victim got what was coming to them by pointing out an action or a flaw (does not have to be true). They use this rationalization to categorize their actions as just. Common phrases associated with this type of neutralization are "they had it coming" or "they deserved it". The offender is shifting the blame to make the victim an offender.
