Imortance of Mental Disorders in Victimization

“…Exploration phase of victimization in nonviolent victims is the highest after 8 weeks (65.00%), then after 4-8 weeks (57.50%) and in 7.50% of cases 4 weeks after rape. Results are similar to the ones in other studies [31][32] with higher anomia in our region, vulnerable family [14][15][16][17], sensational media [33] without monitor ing in B&H [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”

This is a consequence of deinstitutionalization and lack of protection of mentally disordered persons.…”
