Crime Victimization

Crime victimization refers to the experience of being harmed or affected by criminal acts, such as theft, assault, or fraud. It involves individuals, households, or organizations that are targeted or impacted by crime, whether physically, financially, or emotionally. Understanding victimization helps identify patterns, risk factors, and the effects of crime on communities, aiding in prevention and support efforts. It’s important to recognize that victimization can happen to anyone, and addressing it involves both protecting potential victims and providing resources for recovery.
