Negative effects of crime in our community
Answers
Explanation:
Crime victims often suffer a broad range of psychological and social injuries that persist long after their physical wounds have healed.
Intense feelings of anger, fear, isolation, low self-esteem, helpless- ness, and depression are common reactions.
Like combat veterans, crime victims may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, includ- ing recurrent memories of the incident, sleep disturbances, feelings of alienation, emotional numbing, and other anxiety-related symptoms. Janoff-Bulman suggests that victimization can shatter basic assump- tions about the self and the world which individuals need in order to function normally in their daily lives-that they are safe from harm, that the world is meaningful and just, and that they are good, decent people.
