what are the short and long term impacts on victims of crime?

In the law and order episode, Harper a girl who was a victim of crime was traumatized by sexual assault. she was raped in her own apartment. She faced serious long term and short term damage physically and mentally. She did all the right things she called the police immediately after, and gave the police her story. After her assault Harper changed. She started dressing differently, quit her job, broke up with her boyfriend, moved to a different apartment, started working out, and put many locks on her door, she even wore her running shoes to bed. Even after she reported her assault to the police, it had been six months later and she was being re victimised. She had to relive her incident all over again. She will remain scard for the rest of her life and will never forget.
