N2  - After a homicide, family members of the victim must cope with their loss and find ways to continue on with their lives. Research suggests that as "secondary victims," this group may experience grief and cope in ways unique from other victims. Using focus group data, this article examines the impact of homicide on surviving family members. Our findings highlight the divergent ways in which individuals respond to homicide as well as the varying coping strategies families implement. Practical applications of these findings are discussed.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
