Do Unto Others: Correlations Between Specific Juvenile Delinquency and Victimization Experiences

Abstract Details

2008, Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ), Bowling Green State University, Criminal Justice.
The present study explores whether specific juvenile delinquency influences specific victimization experiences. The study utilizes cross-sectional survey data of self-reported delinquency and victimization from 7th to 12th grade students in a Midwestern county. The analysis utilizes multivariate stepwise linear regression techniques to explore the contributions of specific delinquency on specific victimization. Results indicate that juvenile participation in assault and theft behaviors is strongly related to victimization in a similar manner. Juvenile participation in other substance use is related to all forms of victimization while gang affiliation buffers all forms of victimization. It is concluded that there is clear relationship between the specific juvenile delinquency and subsequent victimization risk and that in-school prevention programming must more adequately address the victim/offender overlap to be most effective.
