Goals
This project "is primarily intended as a local basic resource in the area of youth victimisation. Bringing together a basic but comprehensive review of the main local and international literature and research findings on the subject, it should provide the reader with a general understanding of youth victimisation, together with the ensuing repercussions, both short-term and (often) life-long. Looking at the services currently available locally and abroad, the paper finally puts forward a number of observations and suggestions for future reference" (Victim Support Malta, 2014; p. 10).
