Abstract

Obtained normative data regarding levels of psychological distress following criminal victimization from 105 violent crime victims, 227 property crime victims, and 190 nonvictims. Although crime victims showed substantial improvement between three and nine months, thereafter they did not. Violent crime victims remained more distressed than did property crime victims who, in turn, remained more distressed than nonvictims. (Author/NB)
