Victims suffering from dissociation may be putting themselves back into harm’s way as their ability to protect themselves weakens when face to face with a similar threat from their past experiences. These psychological effects when focusing on re-victimization were further investigated by Finkelhor and Browne’s Traumagenic Dynamics Model and Freyd’s Betrayal Trauma theory. They claimed that some victims’ ability to monitor, detect and respond to threatening encounters, makes them more prone and targeted by predatory offenders. Finkelhor and Browne’s model looked at four major trauma causing factors which were applied to assist in the understanding of re-victimization. These factors examined were: 1. Traumatic Sexualization, 2. Betrayal, 3. Powerlessness and 4.
