Individuals who are victims of crimes cope differently to reduce, tolerate, or master the victimization and ensuing emotional distress. It is unclear whether there are gender differences in regard to the stress and coping process among victims of crime. The current study examines gender differences in victimization experiences. This article examines gender differences in coping strategies, levels of depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, anger, anxiety, social support, and well-being of victims of violent and nonviolent crimes. A community sample of 175 victims of different types of crimes were recruited and interviewed face-to-face. The findings suggest different relationships between types of coping strategies and well-being by gender.
