Abstract
Over the past 10 years there have been a series of studies conducted to examine the long-term effects of rape victims. Recently, a study was conducted to compare the reactions of robbery victims with rape victims and to compare female and male robbery victims. This article will review the findings from these longitudinal studies with particular attention to victim reactions that may affect or be affected by participation in criminal prosecution.
