Self-reporting of victimization in the form of victimization surveys is one of the scientific-experimental ways of achieving the true victimization figure. Currently, this method is recognized in many countries, and even internationally, as a grandiose Strategy. While in Iran, these surveys not only have no place in the executive-policy-making structure, but also face severe scientific poverty at the level of research literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the unreported victimization rate and the factors affecting it in the last five years among male students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad. The statistical population was all male students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in the second semester of the academic year of 2015-2015 among whom 350 students were selected using Cochran formula. The results show that more than half of the victims did not report the actual casualties for various reasons. The highest incidence of victimization is related to financial and street crimes including theft, purse and pocket crime, while the lowest incidence of victimization is related to sexual offenses related to the redundant reputation of the victims.  Non –reporting of victimization to police-judicial authorities and inaccessibility to the black victimization figure is one of the major problems with criminal justice systems.
