“…Its mechanisms can be interpreted and further explored with reference to recent work in victimology that views victimization and its aftermath in the light of the so-called Big Two of agency—self-mastery, status/respect, achievement/responsibility, and empowerment and—communion, which includes themes such as love/friendship, dialogue, care/help, and community (Pemberton et al, 2017). Victimization here is conceived as the threat or damage it poses to these twin fundamental modalities of human motivation, while victims’ actions and needs in the aftermath can be seen as attempts to rectify this damage Peer support participation can be viewed as an avenue to restore agency—for example through helping others—and communion—the restoration of relationships through dialogue (see Pemberton et al, 2019b; Aarten et al, 2020). Moreover, an important feature of peer support is the opportunity it provides to renarrate the life story.…”

Topic: Currently, research into the key elements and role of peer support in the aftermath of victimization is limited. This study reviews the types of evidence available, clarifying key concepts in the literature, examining how research is conducted and identifying key characteristics or factors related to peer support in the aftermath of a victimization experience. Method: A scoping review was performed for peer-reviewed papers using predefined search terms. Studies addressing peer support among victims and survivors of crime, traffic accidents, calamities, suicide, and veterans were included. Selection was based on title and abstract and resulted in 16 papers eligible for review. An inductive thematic analysis was used to synthesize data and findings. Findings: Empirical studies into the key elements and role of peer support in the aftermath of victimization are limited in availability and scattered in terms of approach to research (e.g., methodology, type of respondents, type of peer support) and focus (such as focus on effects on mental health and well-being, on key elements or an evaluation of a support program). Studies mainly have an explorative and interpretative character. Key elements, operationalizations, positive outcomes and negative outcomes of peer support are discussed. Conclusion and discussion: The currently available knowledge on peer support in the aftermath of victimization lacks four points: cross-cultural studies, lived experiences as empirical findings, a variety of victimization events and longitudinal studies. Moreover, it is argued that future research should be improved by adopting a contextual and narrative approach.

“…People suffering similar or even the same forms of victimization have vastly different experiences of the event and its aftermath. However, there is a common need for sensemaking in the aftermath of such an experience, including a search for explanations of and meaning in the event (Aarten et al, 2020; Crossley, 2000; Pemberton et al, 2019b).…”
