The current study explored victimization configurations in a sample of 749 university undergraduates from Spain (61.6% women; M age = 26.9), utilizin…

However, transitional justice in Spain presents some particular features of great interest. Criminal justice against the perpetrators of human rights violations was avoided through an Amnesty Act in 1977. But since 2008, following an Act passed in 2007, some criminal proceedings have been s…
