Victims of crime have lots of trouble being the same person that they were before. most people cant admitted that they have changed, someone who suffers from short term would experience higher stress, a need to do something that they think would have helped them prevent the action that was done to them, as well they could become angry or depressed. long term effects are the same but more so such as post-traumatic stress disorder, loss of income from not being able to work for some victims.
Harper from "Law & Order SVU" suffered a severe crime(s) done to her. First off she had trouble with sleeping so she couldn't hold her job, then she felt like she had to get srtonger and faster so she could protect herself, she couldn't stay at the apartment where she got vitimized so when she moved her appartment door had to have multiple locks on it so she could feel safer, she broke up her relationship, also later on after she moved another woman was victimized the same way as her and they brought in the criminal and she could not identify him.
