Secondary victimisation is a concept adopted by criminal psychology from the 1980s onwards to refer to those situations in which a victim of a crime is re-victimised by the system itself throughout the judicial process. Although this concept did not appear in Spanish legislation until 2015, since 1998 it has been progressively incorporated into Spanish judgments due to the influence of judicial experts (mainly psychologists and forensic doctors), lawyers and international legislation. The study presented in this article includes an analysis of all the judgments in which this concept is mentioned contained in the official publication of the Judicial Documentation Centre (CENDOJ). The objective is to establish when and how the concept of secondary victimisation is incorporated into Spanish jurisprudence, to what types of crimes it is applied and to what extent the use made of this concept in judicial doctrine differs from its definition given by criminal psychology from which it originates.
