   Abstract:
   The emotional consequences of victimization are believed to be mediated in part by the social context in which the abuse experience occurs. For selected "special populations" of women, subgroup membership is examined as a risk factor for victimization and as a contextual determinant of outcome. Membership in a disadvantaged subgroup can complicate recovery from abuse experiences in several ways. As examples, discrimination and revictimization can impede recovery from victimization.
