Resilience and Criminal Victimization
Keywords:
resilience, criminal victimizationAbstract
Previous resilience studies have shown that overcoming adversity in life is a very important factor for the everyday functioning of a person in their community. However, the relationship between resilience and criminal victimization has not been studied very much, despite the importance of resilience in understanding this phenomenon. The aim of this paper is to present some of the definitions of resilience and criminal victimization. Also, the possible contribution of resilience in understanding the phenomenon of criminal victimization is discussed.
