- Who is the Secondary Victimisation poster for?
- Secondary Victimisation belongs to the Criminal Justice section rather than to a school year, because law & society is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning victimology can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Secondary Victimisation poster?
- Use it to separate avoidable process harm from the harm of the offence. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Secondary Victimisation belongs on the wall where that law & society work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Secondary Victimisation?

- Is the Secondary Victimisation poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Secondary Victimisation downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Criminal Justice section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Secondary Victimisation poster print at?
- Secondary Victimisation is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Secondary Victimisation loses nothing.Printing guide
