Esbensen, Finn-Aage; Huizinga, David
Youth and Society, v23 n2 p202-28 Dec 1991
Demographic characteristics of juvenile victims of crime and a potential relationship between victimization and self-reported delinquency are examined for 877 adolescents from a large midwestern city. Lifetime victimization rates (LVRs) are higher for those involved in delinquency, and LVRs rise with age and higher levels of delinquent behavior. (SLD)
