Sometimes referred to as
revictimization, it is not exclusive to
sexual assault. Victims of domestic
violence are more likely to undergo it
a second time. Even robberies and
burglaries seem to be self-
propogating (and significantly so.
Being robbed once places you at a
nine times higher risk of being robbed
again, and being burgled means you
have four times more reason to lock
up your house.)
