Foreigners are a specific object for criminological research. They are less likely than nationals to commit crimes, but are more likely to be victims of criminal encroachment. In 70 % of criminal offenses against foreigners there are pronounced victimogenic factors. Considering the peculiarities of the processes of victimization and victimization of foreign citizens in Ukraine, it is worth talking about the existence of a victim-generating multifactorial complex, which determines the specifics of such encroachments, based on the characteristics of victim status at both individual and group levels. The specificity of the process of victimization of foreigners is due to the specifics of its status, which is the most victimized and is characterized mainly by a low level of education; awareness of being abroad or staying illegally in the host country; ignorance of the requirements of the current legislation of the host country; language barrier; low sense of social justice and self-esteem; group and individual conformity in an anonymous way of life; ethnopsychological features; distrust of state bodies; social maladaptation of the individual. Such factors determine the specifics of the process of individual and group victimization. Implementation of scientific and developed methods, the study of victims of crimes and victimological prevention of crimes is, of course, not the only way of practical application of victimological knowledge.
