A Global Perspective on Young People as Offenders and Victims: Young People as Victims of Crime [Chapter 4 shifts the focus from young people’s offending to their experience as victims of crime. This chapter presents initial ISRD3 findings on victimization from 27 countries. The chapter presents data for (1) victimization in the previous year and (2) whether the police were notified of this victimization. Patterns of victimization are presented under four headings: “Core crimes” (robbery, theft, and assault; cyberbullying; hate crime; and parental use of physical force). The chapter also shows (incidence-based) rates of police notification of victimization, as well as the reporting frequency per 100 incidents. One of the main findings emerging from the analyses is that police reporting rates do not seem to link primarily to distrust in the police. Chapter 4 also includes some important and novel findings on domestic violence against children, as well as on hate crime victimization.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Chapter 4 shifts the focus from young people’s offending to their experience as victims of crime. This chapter presents initial ISRD3 findings on victimization from 27 countries. The chapter presents data for (1) victimization in the previous year and (2) whether the police were notified of this victimization. Patterns of victimization are presented under four headings: “Core crimes” (robbery, theft, and assault; cyberbullying; hate crime; and parental use of physical force). The chapter also shows (incidence-based) rates of police notification of victimization, as well as the reporting frequency per 100 incidents. One of the main findings emerging from the analyses is that police reporting rates do not seem to link primarily to distrust in the police. Chapter 4 also includes some important and novel findings on domestic violence against children, as well as on hate crime victimization.]
