There are not many theories or models focused on resistance, resilience or recovery. As an example, a Psycho/Social Coping Model (P/SCM) is presented by Dussich (2011) as a general theory for understanding all forms of victimisation and for facilitating recovery. Limited resources make people vulnerable to victimisation. To prevent victimisation, people lacking resources must be identified so that specific resources to their unique needs are given. According to Dussich (2011), the implications of this model are the following:

• “The P/SCM suggests that persons who have been victimised must be empowered with tailored resources to prevent their re-victimisation or their conversion to offending.

• Notions of victim guilt or blame only have a place in legal considerations, not for understanding victim behaviour and helping victims recover. Guilt or blame is usually considerations when dealing with crime victims.

• Recovery is best facilitated by providing tailored resources that are person-specific, culture-sensitive & situation-realistic.
