Summary/Abstract: Crime can be discussed in the legal, criminological and social context. The aim of the work is to present the problem of health disorders, emotional state of adults who have experienced a crime. The general psychological norms established scientifically in relation to the phenomenon of being a victim make us think that its behavior, the way of reporting and thus presenting one’s person during the interrogation may be far from the expectations of the judicial authorities and law enforcement agencies. The work contains a description of practical guidelines serving to understand the role of situational factors in the interrogation that may affect the way of reporting and, therefore, can influence the way of fulfilling the role of the interrogated person.
