Repeat Offending and Repeat Victimization: Assessing Similarities and Differences in Psychosocial Risk Factors
Fagan, Abigail A.; Mazerolle, Paul
Crime & Delinquency, v57 n5 p732-755 Sep 2011
The overlap between victims and offenders is increasingly being recognized, with mounting evidence that victims and offenders have similar demographic characteristics, that victimization increases the likelihood of offending, and that offenders are at high risk for becoming victims of crime. Despite this evidence, there is limited research regarding the extent to which repeat victims are likely to be repeat offenders, and few studies have assessed whether predictors of repeat victimization and repeat offending are similar. Using data from a longitudinal study of young people in Brisbane, Australia, this study demonstrates that despite some overlap, there are some important differences in predictors of repeat offenders and repeat victims. (Contains 6 tables and 5 notes.)
