Being the target or victim of a sexual assault, a break and enter, an assault or any sort of crime is a terrible burden that can have considerable long and short term consequences. People can be affected in many different ways when they become a victim of crime. While certain emotions such as anger or fear are common, some victims do not react this way. People may feel like their normal selves for a while, and then things may quickly fall apart. Others experience physical symptoms such as depression, lack of sleep or feeling ill. Strong emotions after a crime may leave the victim feeling even more unsettled and confused which may lead to a lack of socialization. This begins with the short term of physical and emotional consequences which in turn leads to long term economic loss. These two are related because if the victim is unwilling to socialize or allow themselves back into society and a maintain a sense of normality after experiencing an offence, they may be unwilling to find a job and earn a source of income.A short-term impact would be the stress suffered during or after the police interview following the crime. Many have noted that the interview is handled callously, with innuendo or insinuations that they were somehow at fault. This can cause great distress in the victim for they may feel justice will not be served. Property is often kept for a long time as evidence and may never be returned. Some sexual assault victims even feel revictimized because the treatment they receive from legal, medical, and mental health services is so destructive. Long-term stress is a major aspect of victimization. Stress and anxiety is not uncommon to experience long after the incident is over and the justice process is forgotten. Post traumatic stress disorder (an emotional disturbance following exposure to stresses outside the range of normal human experience), anxiety disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder are often results of stress from victimization which often times will be a long term side effect.
