Year: 2020

Type: article

Abstract: Criminal victimization produces enormous personal and societal costs yet few investigations have systematically examined substance use and psychiatric disorders of crime victims. Our objectives were to 1) examine the prevalence and patterns of criminal victimization in the U.S. and 2) their associations with specific substance use disorders, prevalent psychiatric conditions, and violent and non-violent antisocial behaviors in controlled multivariate analyses.
