In one of the two Forensic Medicine Units of the most extended French department (Seineet-Marne, Paris East suburb), with level 2 organization, and mobile team, staff consist in a
secretariat, 8.5 equivalent full time forensic physicians, 2.8 nurses and 1 equivalent full time
forensic psychologist. Two half-time forensic psychologists realize psychological examinations
of authors (psychocriminology) and victims (psycho-victimology). During 2014, the Marnela-Vallée hospital Forensic Medicine Unit produced 378 reports of psycho-victimological
evaluations from the two half-time forensic psychologists working for this unit. The aim of
this paper is describing as clearly as possible various typologies of victims as well as analyzing the various profiling data established through the classical tryptic: personality (anamnesis), facts (context) and psychological impairment (consequences).
