Preventing secondary victimization of disabled people

Summary/Abstract: Secondary victimization is an act of further (repeated) harm inflicted towards a victim by people to whom they requested for help. The phenomenon takes on significance in reference to disabled people who due to violated mental and physical efficiency are especially exposed to experience harm. Therefore, every possible effort should be taken in order not to make a victim of crime incur further harm – also caused by people whose goal and obligation, by virtue of their occupation, is to bring help to such a victim. The article is an attempt to indicate actions which will protect disabled people from secondary victimization particularly experienced from official workers.
