- Summary:
- In 200912, 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 victimisation. Victims who experienced severe distress as a result of a violent victimisation were more likely to report the crime to police and receive victim services than victims with no distress or mild distress. This book discusses select reports from the Bureau of Justice Statistics on the measures of violent crimes including firearm violence, homicide, and nonfatal domestic violence. It also examines the socio-emotional impact violent crimes have on individuals.
