Definition(s)

  • Victimization has many serious consequences for public health and safety. Indeed, experiences of victimization—from extreme forms of personal victimization such as sexual assault and intimate partner violence to lower level, yet still significant forms of property victimization—-touch many households and can have devastating consequences for families and communities.
