Abstract
A framework is presented for a new field called developmental victomology, and two major branches are described. One would analyze developmental changes that affect children\u27s risk for victimization, particularly in three areas: children\u27s suitability as targets, their ability to protect themselves, and the environments they inhabit. A second branch would focus on developmental processes that affect children\u27s reactions to victimizations and in particular, developmental tasks and critical periods, the process of cognitive appraisal, and the forms of symptom expression
