Preferred term

psychological and behavioral consequences of victimization  

Definition

  • Research examining the psychological and behavioral consequences of victimization was missing from victimization literature up until about 20 years ago. Although many scholars have assumed that there are indeed mental health costs associated with victimization, a large portion of national surveys have failed to ask specific psychological health questions regarding the time period after the victimization.
