Research Abstract	This study is about social prejudice for crime victims that have influence on decision making of not to report to the police. Generally, people imagine that victims of severe crime are supposed to report what they experienced to the police. But, it is commonly unknown the difficulties of reporting to the police and asking for help for the crime victims. It is suggested that many people recognize that support system for crime victims is insufficient and is needed more. We need to discuss how we know the true information about the crime victims, and how we spread the psychological education about the effective help-seeking.
