N= 75 persons make the control group of females with violent victimization. The design of the study is longitudinal, multicentric study with these tests: GDL, EPQ, HAMD, and PIE. Intercorrelation was done statistically, as well as univariable and canonical discriminative analysis. Results Violators are male (c 2 = 29.970) significance P 2 = 0.830), migration (c 2 = 0.064), and heredity (c 2 = 0.406) NS. Act over mental patient: 16.08% (2002) to 22.61% (2007), act of abuse of power: 2.12% (2001) to 3.55% (2008), and unclear rape acts: 0.88% (2004) to 1.74% (2007) and they are followed by fear in smaller extent. Violent victimization is shown by persons with the fear HAMD15: t-test= 11.01, HAMD19: t-test=13.91, and HAMD21: t-test=14.66.
