The practical signifi cance of the research is due to the need for indepth study of the topic of semantic orientations and their connection with victimization, as well as further identifi cation of the main semantic values of young people, in order to develop programs aimed at developing positive attitudes and meaningfulness of life, as well as the orientation of value orientations.
