Victims of all three crime types -- rape, domestic assault, and nondomestic assault -- were found to exhibit similar patterns of response to victimization, including significant declines in symptomatology on two of the three measures across the 6-month period. While some police actions were approximately equally distributed across crime types, nondomestic assault victims were significantly less likely to receive information on available intervention resources than victims of the other two types of crime. Furthermore, a strong relationship was found between nature of services received and police mention of service availability, suggesting the importance of the police officer in the information dissemination process.
