The Association Between Traumatic Brain Injury and Intimate Partner Violence Victimization
A robust body of literature has addressed the factors that are related to people becoming victims of violence. One recent factor identified is having suffered from a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Much of this research has focused on violent victimization or intimate partner violence (IPV) related head trauma. How TBI may relate to different types of IPV is not clear. Using data from the American College Health Association-National College Health …
Intervention in Crisis
Research highlights that people with mental illness are significantly more likely to experience victimization events compared with the general population. Generally, studies have noted the importance of guardianship in preventing victimization among this population; however, prior investigations have neglected to examine the role of bystanders’ willingness to intervene in risky scenarios involving a person exhibiting mental illness. To address th…
Does College Matter? Exploring College-Level Factors Related to Victimization Risk for U.S. and Canadian College Students
Research shows that U.S. college students are at risk for a variety of victimization types. College students in Canada also experience similar types of victimization compared to U.S students, yet recent research shows that Canadian students are at a greater risk than U.S. college students of being victimized. Little is known, however, as to whether college-level factors influence victimization risk and how these risks may be different for U.S. an…
Deviant peers
Prior research demonstrates a clear association between deviant peers and delinquent behavior, but it is unclear whether stable relationships provide stronger sources of influence than ephemeral ties. The current study addresses this gap by testing whether individuals are more likely to adjust their delinquent behaviors to be similar to their stable friends compared to their transient affiliations. Drawing from network data in the National Longit…
The intersection of disability and race/ethnicity on victimization risk
Although research has demonstrated a link between disability and victimization risk, less is known about how disability and race/ethnicity intersect to impact victimization risk. Using the routine activities/lifestyle perspective as a guide, we explore the relationship between having six disability types and three victimization types (violent, sexual, IPV) across racial/ethnic groups. In doing so, data from the ACHA-NCHA II Spring 2016–2019 surve…

Sexual Orientation, Revictimization, and Polyvictimization
Sexual Victimization, Self-Efficacy to Refuse Sex While Drinking, and Regretting Alcohol-Involved Sex among Underserved Youth in Kampala, Uganda
The purposes of this study were to determine whether youth who have experienced sexual victimization (SV) have lower self-efficacy to refuse sex and to identify intervention strategies for rape survivors to mitigate further health-risks and harm. Cross-sectional data from the 2014 Kampala Youth Survey ( n = 1134) of youth aged 12 to 18 years recruited from Uganda Youth Development Link drop-in centers were used to conduct the analyses. Multivaria…
Resiliency from violent victimization for people with mental disorders
Research examining prevalence rates and risk factors related to victimization for people with mental disorders has procured considerable attention. Despite this increased attention, why a subset of this population is not victimized, despite elevated risk, is less understood. That is, there is a group of people with mental disorders who are effectively resilient from victimization, but the ways in which resiliency is produced is not known. Using t…
Mental Illness and its Link to Illegal Street Market Activity
Given the focus on research assessing violence among people with mental illness, other forms of deviance such as illegal street market offending have been relatively ignored. As such, the prevalence and risk factors for illegal street market offending among those with mental disorders is unknown. Utilizing the MacArthur Risk Assessment Study, the prevalence of illegal street market offending among this population is assessed along with the risk f…
Double jeopardy
Little research has been conducted to explore the impact of intersectionality among racial/ethnic minority groups and sexual/gender minority groups as it relates to violent, sexual, and stalking victimization risk. Using minority stress theory and routine activities-lifestyle exposure theory as a guide, the current study seeks to add to the literature by identifying risk factors for violent, sexual, and stalking victimization among a national sam…
Psychopathic Traits and Victimization
Psychopathy has been linked to a host of negative outcomes including victimization; yet, the mechanisms that may explain this relationship have not been identified. Using data from the Pathways to Desistance study, a longitudinal study of adolescents adjudicted for serious offenses ( N = 1,354) who had been adjudicated in either Maricopa County, AZ, or Philadelphia County, PA, we examine several mechanisms that may mediate the relationship betwee…
Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Victims’ Reporting Behaviors to Informal and Formal Sources
Racial and ethnic differences in the risk factors associated with bully victimization
Bullying victimization has been recognized as a social issue facing a large proportion of America’s children and adolescents. Although important contributions to the knowledge base have been made regarding risk factors for bullying, little is known about whether a relationship between the potential victim’s race/ethnicity and their likelihood of bully victimization exists. Further, whether the factors that place persons at risk for bullying victi…

The Empirical Status of Deterrence Theory
The literature on deterrence theory has undergone a number of changes in recent years. With the rise of new ways of thinking about rational decision-making and offending, four developments have changed the way criminologists view the deterrence perspective: the effectiveness of certain situational crime prevention strategies; the recognition of the importance of the "non-legal costs" of criminal behavior; the integration of deterrence theory with…
Criminals in the Making
The authors are very well known in this small but growing subfield of criminology.They discuss biological and genetic research associated with criminality, as well as discuss research into specific environmental agents that cause, facilitate, or maintain criminal propensity. This text is geared for upper level undergraduate and graduate students in criminal justice and criminology, sociology, and psychology programs. Features and Benefits Introdu…
Unsafe in the Ivory Tower
This text presents two interrelated perspectives of sexual victimisation on college campuses. Firstly it discusses a a salient social problem: the sexual victimisation of college women. Secondly it discusses how scholars have participated in this movement to understand the origins, nature, extent, and ways to prevent the sexual victimisation, especially on college campuses
Resiliency against victimization
Risk Heterogeneity and Recurrent Violent Victimization
For some people, victimization comes with significant costs. One of these costs is the likelihood of being victimized a subsequent time. Unfortunately, research shows that a portion of victims do in fact experience more than one victimization. Although this likelihood has been established, the reasons why some people are victimized more than once are not fully understood. One explanation centers on individual risk factors that, if left unchanged,…
The Empirical Status of Social Learning Theory
Social learning theory has remained one of the core criminological paradigms over the last four decades. Although a large body of scholarship has emerged testing various propositions specified by the theory, the empirical status of the theory in its entirety is still unknown. Accordingly, in the present study, we subject this body of empirical literature to a meta‐analysis to assess its empirical status. Results reveal considerable variation in t…
Gender Differences in the Predictors of Juvenile Delinquency
At the heart of the gender-specificity debate is the argument that gender-neutral theories cannot adequately explain female delinquency. Instead, it has been asserted that theories should incorporate risk factors that capture females' unique experiences. In this context, the current study uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health to address the generality-specificity debate. The analysis includes variables not only from…
Self-Control, Violent Offending, and Homicide Victimization
Reporting Sexual Victimization To The Police And Others
Beginning with Koss, Gidycz, and Wisniewski’s pathbreaking study, the sexual victimization of female college students has emerged as salient research and policy concern. Building on this earlier work, we used a national, random sample of 4,446 female college students to focus on an issue of continuing importance: the level and determinants of victims’ willingness to report their sexual victimization. The analysis revealed that although few incide…
