This paper covers a study of rape victims, according to the records of Clinic for Gynekology and Obstetrics in Novi Sad, in terms of the late psychological and psychiatric consequences. Several methods were used: special questionnaire, Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory for estimating personality and selfdescriptive scale of depression, Beck Depression Inventory. Results emphasize that the group with the highest rape risk consists of female persons aged from 22 to 30 years, single, without children and with lower education level. Psychological and psychiatric and analysis shows pathological personality of victims in most cases. All victims tested, expressed intensive or mild degree of depression. Analysis of offense situation points to significant degree of victimization.
