© 2020, Kazan Federal University. All rights reserved. Victimization of children and adolescents, as well as other groups in society is an important issue and complex issue that needs to be better understood so that measures can be put in place at every level to prevent and correct these phenomena. This study was based on the bibliometric analysis of relevant scientific literature in both Russian and foreign publications. The resulting qualitative analysis indicated a variety of viewpoints on the concept of victimology, with different approaches, theories of victimization, and concepts of specific aspects of prevention, minimization, correction, and individual assistance. A large number of publications are devoted to the relationship of victimization and other phenomena, especially in the school environment. Despite the diversity of the scientific field, the study identified differences in the knowledge of this definition in the global databases and an increasing number of publications dealing with this problem by both foreign and Russian researchers. The phenomenon of “victimization” requires a further in-depth approach to research of an interdisciplinary nature, as well as the development of conditions, models and methods of de-victimization at various levels.
