Summary/Abstract: In every society, some of its members are at increased risk of becoming victims of some of the crimes with elements of violence. A particularly vulnerable group is certainly people with disabilities. Social isolation, lack of information that would contribute to the prevention of violence, the inability of disabled persons to act actively against abusers, according to the authors, are only some of the factors favoring the victimization of this category of population. Starting from the conceptual definition of violence against persons with disabilities, its manifestations, and the emerging factors of victimization, the authors seek for an adequate social response to violence against persons with disabilities, sincerely believing that prevention, with repression where it is really necessary, is the key to its suppression.
