Effective prevention of indecent exposure crime has been pursued from the analyses. 216 people from student victims in University, and random victims were participated in the study from January to October 2011. As a results, the victims of indecent exposure crime answered as “trauma was serious” the most. However, the victims show little awareness of the crime.
