"The book achieves its goal of encouraging the reader to think broadly about how the consequences of violent victimization can be measured, understood, and prevented. The authors also achieve their goal of emphasizing the need for multiple research methods and multiple theoretical perspectives for understanding the effects and implications of violent crime. The book would certainly be a useful resource for students studying psychology or criminology, and is likely to be of interest to professionals who work with victims of violent crime." --CRIME PREVENTION AND COMMUNITY SAFETY: AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL What are the effects that violent crime has on our everyday lives, both in terms of the individual victims and their larger community? This unique text draws from both the fields of criminology and psychology to provide a comprehensive examination of the two major areas that are most significantly effected by violent crime - the crime victims themselves and the larger sphere of their families, friends, neighborhoods, and communities. Beginning with a discussion of the how we measure and study violent victimization, the authors R. Barry Ruback and Martie P. Thompson, look at the immediate and long-term impact violent acts has upon the direct victims. Social and Psychological Consequences of Violent Victimization examines "secondary victims"- family members, neighbors, friends, and the professional involved with investigating and prosecuting the crime and helping the victim, and also impacts of violent crime on neighborhoods and communities. The authors conclude with recommendations of effective interventions that can be made at the levels of the individual, the community, and the criminal justice and mental health systems. This book′s one-of-a kind focus on both the psychological and social impact of crime makes it an invaluable supplementary text for criminal justice and criminology courses dealing with victimization, violent crimes, and the criminal justice process. The book will also interest professionals in victim services, crime prevention, criminal justice, and social work.

A large body of research links victimization to various harms. Yet it remains unclear how the effects of victimization vary over the life course, or why some victims are more likely to experience negative outcomes than others. Accordingly, this study seeks to advance the literature and inform victim service interventions by examining the effects of violent victimization and social ties on multiple behavioral, psychological, and health-related outcomes across three distinct stages of the life course: adolescence, early adulthood, and adulthood. Specifically, I ask two primary questions: 1) are the consequences of victimization age-graded? And 2) are the effects of social ties in mitigating the consequences of victimization age-graded? Existing data from Waves I (1994-1995), III (2001-2002), and IV (2008-2009) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) are used. The Add Health is a nationally-representative sample of over 20,000 American adolescents enrolled in middle and high school during the 1994-1995 school year. On average, respondents are 15 years of age at Wave I (11-18 years), 22 years of age at Wave III (ranging from 18 to 26 years), and 29 years of age at Wave IV (ranging from 24 to 32 years). Multivariate regression models (e.g., ordinary least-squares, logistic, and negative binomial models) are used to assess the effects of violent victimization on the various behavioral, social, psychological, and health-related outcomes at each wave of data. Two-stage sample selection models are estimated to examine whether social ties explain variation in these outcomes among a subsample of victims at each stage of the life course.The results indicate that the negative consequences of victimization vary considerably across different stages of the life course, and that the spectrum of negative outcomes linked to victimization narrows into adulthood. The effects of social ties appear to be age-graded as well, where ties are more protective for victims of violence in adolescence and adulthood than they are in early adulthood. These patterns of findings are discussed in light of their implications for continued theoretical development, future empirical research, and the creation of public policy concerning victimization.

Bringing together cutting-edge theory and research that bridges academic disciplines from criminology and criminal justice, to developmental psychology, sociology, and political science, Thinking About Victimization offers an authoritative and refreshingly accessible overview of scholarship on the nature, sources, and consequences of victimization. This book integrates empirical research and victimization theory and is written in a lively style, with sharp storytelling and an appreciation of international research on victimization. Rooted in a healthy respect for criminological history and the important foundational works in victimization studies, it provides a detailed account of how different data sources can influence our understanding of victimization; of how the sources of victimization—individual, situational, and contextual—are complicated and varied; and of how the consequences of victimization—personal, social, and political—are just as complex. Thinking About Victimization also engages with contemporary issues such as sexual victimization and intimate partner violence, victimization in schools, cybervictimization, and prison victimization, as well as terrorism and state-sponsored violence. The second edition reflects new research developments in victimology, including updated discussions on the COVID-19 pandemic, police brutality, increases in crime, and school shootings. Thinking About Victimization is essential reading for advanced courses in victimization offered in criminology, criminal justice, sociology, health, and social work departments. With its unapologetic reliance on theory and research combined with its easy readability, undergraduate and graduate students alike will find much to learn in these pages.

In 2009-12, 68% of victims of serious violent crime-rape or sexual assault, robbery, or aggravated assault-reported experiencing socio-emotional problems as a result of their victimization. For this report, socio-emotional problems are defined as the experience of one or more of the following: feelings of moderate to severe distress; significant problems with work or school, such as trouble with a boss, coworkers, or peers; or significant problems with family members or friends, including more arguments than before the victimization, an inability to trust, or not feeling as close after the victimization. Victims who experienced severe distress as a result of a violent victimization were more likely to report the crime to police and receive victim services than victims with no distress or mild distress (figure 1). About 12% of severely distressed victims reported the crime to police and received victim services, compared to 1% of victims with no distress. However, more than a third of victims reporting severe distress and nearly half of those with moderate distress did not report to the police or receive any assistance from victim service providers. In addition, 50% of victims who experienced severe distress and reported to police did not receive victim services. It is not known if they were directed to or offered these services.

Violence has detrimental and long-lasting effects on victims' physical health, emotional well-being, and social relationships. Formal services, such as law enforcement, health services, and victim service agencies, provide victims a means to mitigate these harms, but not all victims use them. This dissertation seeks to understand and predict these help-seeking outcomes. Building on the theoretical principles of rational choice theory, I offer a needs-barriers framework to explain why victims may use (or avoid) formal services after a crime. This framework rests on two parsimonious assumptions: (1) Victims use a formal service when they perceive that it can satisfy one or more of their physiological, safety-related, psychological, or social needs and (2) Perceived physical, psychological, and social barriers serve as disincentives for victims to use formal services. I argue that this approach provides insight into how the sequelae of violence (e.g., physical, emotional, social harms) and the situational factors of victimization (e.g., victim-offender relationship and sexual violence) interact to influence whether and how victims utilize formal services after a crime. Using violent victimization data collected by the National Crime Victimization Survey (2008-2018), this dissertation provides two studies that examined the scope of violence harms and how these harms, and certain situational factors of violence, influence victims' formal help-seeking outcomes. The first study examines the short- and long-term physical, emotional, and social harms of violent victimization. The findings suggest that injury severity and victim-offender relationship are key risk factors of harm, but in unique ways. Victims who reported a greater degree of injury and a closer relationship with their offender had worse physical, emotional, and social outcomes. These victims were also more likely to report long-term physical and psychological symptoms months after the crime occurred. However, the link between injury severity and these other sequelae of violence depended on the victim-offender relationship. Specifically, the degree of injury had a significantly weaker effect on the emotional, social, and long-term consequences of victimization when the attacker was a family/intimate partner than when the offender was a stranger. The second study investigates violence victims' use of formal services after the crime, including police, medical, and victim services. Overall, victims used formal services in roughly half of the violent victimizations, with police services being the most common (94% of incidents involving a formal service). Consistent with the needs-barriers framework, the physical, emotional, and social harms of violence were strong and consistent predictors of whether violence victims reported to the police, sought medical care, or contacted victim service agencies after the crime. However, the results regarding victim-offender relationship were mixed. Victims were generally most likely to use formal services when the offender was a family member/intimate partner or a stranger instead of an acquaintance. In analyses of victims' use of follow-up emotional care months after the crime, victims were most likely to use formal services when the offender was a family member/intimate partner. Similar to the previous study, the link between the harms of violence and victims' use of formal services was partly conditioned by the victim-offender relationship. Injury severity and social distress had a weaker relationship to victims' use of formal services when the offender was a family member/intimate partner than when the offender was a stranger. However, in analyses of victims' use of follow-up care, this interaction was not significant. Violence victims' formal help-seeking outcomes result from a complex interplay between their needs for formal services and the barriers they face in accessing them. A needs-barriers framework lends insight into the unique ways commonly studied measures of violence--e.g., injury severity and victim-offender relationship--influence victims' help-seeking outcomes.

The objective of this research is to determine that the fear of crime victimization effects the psychological well-being of adults in Lahore who have always been victims to any of the many incidents happening around time. This research has been conducted to know to what extent the psychological well-being of people is being disturbed because of crime. The research was carried out at the University of the punjab from various of its departments. A sample size of 200 respondents was taken into account and it varied from workers, students and faculty members. We used random sampling to gather data from our respondents. We developed a questionnaire based on 38 questions. After the development of the questionnaire we randomly asked people to fill up the questionnaire upon their consent. The data collected was checked and edited for clarity, legibility, relevance and adequacy. For this purpose, SPSS 21 was used to analyze data in the form of Frequencies, Percentage and Graphs. With the help of our findings it was concluded that there is high association of fear of crime victimization and psychological well-being. The results of the findings were 0.02 which shows that the association between psychological well-being and fear of crime victimization is high.

Throughout the world, many continue to experience collective violence and its long-lasting consequences. This book examines the social psychological processes involved in experiences of collective victimization and oppression, as well as the consequences of these experiences for individuals and for relations within and between groups. In twenty chapters, authors explore questions such as: How are experiences of collective victimization passed down and understood? How do people cope with and make sense of these experiences? Who is included and excluded from the category of "victims," and what are the psychological consequences of such denial versus acknowledgment of collective victimization? And finally, what are the ethics of researching collective victimization, especially when these experiences are recent or politically contested? The authors examine these questions and others across a range of different contexts of collective violence in different parts of the world, including ethnic and religious conflicts, the aftermath of genocides, post-Apartheid, consequences of settler colonialism, racism, the caste system, and national histories of victimization.

There is an increasing appreciation of the interconnections among all forms of violence. These interconnections have critical implications for conducting research that can produce valid conclusions about the causes and consequences of abuse, maltreatment, and trauma. The accumulated data on co-occurrence also provide strong evidence that prevention and intervention should be organized around the full context of individuals’ experiences, not narrowly defined subtypes of violence. Managing the flood of new research and practice innovations is a challenge, however. New means of communication and integration are needed to meet this challenge, and the Web of Violence is intended to contribute to this process by serving as a concise overview of the conceptual and empirical work that form a basis for understanding the interconnections across forms of violence throughout the lifespan. It also offers ideas and directions for prevention, intervention, and public policy. A number of initiatives are emerging to integrate the findings on co-occurrence into research and action. The American Psychological Association established a new journal, Psychology of Violence, which is a forum for research on all types of violence. Sherry Hamby is the founding editor and John Grych is associate editor and co-editor of a special issue on the co-occurrence of violence in 2012. Dr. Hamby also is a co-investigator of the National Survey of Children’s Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV), which has drawn attention to polyvictimization. Polyvictimization is a focus of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Defending Childhood Initiative and has recently been featured in calls for grant proposals by the Office of Victims of Crime and National Institutes for Justice.
