N2  - There is a newly emerging population of crime victims that is made up of inner-city African-Americans. This population of crime victims is called invisible, because its members are paralyzed after brushes with random acts of violence. As a result of their paralysis, they disappear from conventional arenas such as work, recreation, and some social gatherings. The sad reality of this victimization is that despite the calamity it brings to the victims, it could potentially drain the public health and criminal justice systems. The authors of this article contend there are preventive strategies that could reduce this growing population.<p />
