An analysis of the current literature reveals there is no single definition of polyvictimization, but that polyvictimization is used to define the cumulative impact of diverse forms of traumas and victimizations on an individual. The definitions and concepts have been adapted from this research to include Family Justice and Multi-Agency Models (Centers) and how they can better address and mitigate the impacts of polyvictimization on the lives of survivors.
