Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The criminal justice system, in its response to co-victims of homicide, contributes to their experiences and recovery. The treatment homicide co-victims receive from criminal justice personnel and as a result of the criminal justice processes often leave them aggrieved and feeling alienated. Researchers have coined the phrase “secondary victimization” to describe the trauma that individuals who are victims of crime experience as a consequence of the system processes and/or interactions with criminal justice personnel. The purpose of this study is to compare homicide co-victims’ responses to police and court personnel, as well as experiences with police notification and investigation through court trial and appeals. Data are drawn from focus group discussions with 27 co-victims of 24 homicides. Themes associated with secondary victimization will be identified and compared across the different system actors and various stages of the criminal justice process.
