Lack of support

Lack of social support refers to the absence of a network of family, friends, or community members who can provide emotional, informational, or practical assistance during challenging times. This deficiency can increase vulnerability to victimization, as individuals who are isolated may be less likely to receive help when needed and more likely to experience negative outcomes as a result of crime or trauma.
