Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Secondary victimization refers to the additional trauma and harm caused to a victim of a crime or abuse due to the behaviors and attitudes of service-providers, such as law enforcement, healthcare providers, or legal professionals, that place blame on the victim or invalidate their experience. This can include victim-blaming questioning, disbelief or minimization of their experiences, or insensitive treatment. It can further traumatize the victim and impair their ability to seek help or trust in institutions meant to protect them.
