Pour Casarez-Levison [1992], la victimisation est un processus qui compte quatre étapes, soit l'état de la victime avant le crime (prévictimisation), l'acte criminel proprement dit (victimisation), l'adaptation initiale (transition) et finalement un état où le fait d'avoir été victime d'un acte criminel fait partie de l'expérience de vie de la personne (résolution du problème). 1, record 1, French, - acte%20criminel
