Long-Term Effects Of Violent Crimes

Part A: Violent crimes have fast impacts and slower impacts in peoples lives for example second injury is very relatable to everyone's day to day lives. This is when a person is a victim and they experience a lot of emotions at one time and cannot gather thier thoughts or think rationally. An example of this would be Dr. Hall's traumatic experience of the robbery that took place a while back. She mentioned during lecture that at first she thought it was a prank but after a while everything just rushed to her and she realized it was an emergency situtation. She said once she realized it was not a prank she could not believe that this was happening to her and her friends. I think another short term impact is when people under the stress of traumatic

To be honest I do not remeber a lot about traumatic psychological infantilism other than its behavior I would classify under long-term since we usually act in a certain way from when we were children or something like that. PTSD is post-traumatic stress disorder where everyday people experience long term effects, we normally relate this to vets or people in the military because they have been exposed to what we consider extremely traumatic events from wars and serving our country. But what we dont really rationalize it with is every day acts which I honestly didn't until I watched a video that was due for one of our modules, where two men were intreviewed and one of them said that everyday people experience PTSD from events like accidents, which is true but for some reason I did not link them before this. And obviously long term trauma from cases like rapes and victims of crimes like robberies and

A type of self-mutilation is when someone cuts a body part off maybe because they were mentally ill and they referenced it to a religious belief.

Another type is when a person who is mentally ill is constantly hitting their head alot, cutting themselves alot, or i think another one was bitting their nails. I know it is a nasty habbit but I find constantly biting my nails in moments of nervousness, although Im not sure if this a relevant example because I do not think I am mentally ill. But still all of these are types of self-mutilation. People may do this in an attempt to free themselves for some traumatic experience, or as I mentioned earlier because of religious beliefs, or even like just mental beliefs like if someone is not one hundered percent mentally there they might think its the norm or its fine in thier worlds, maybe in some instances like my own habbit, it may be done unconsiously or out of nerves. In relation to disassociation I think self-mutilation is definitely like leaving your body after you physically hurt yourself. Because this is a traumatic experience I think people may do it for a high or a temporary escape from
