“…However, research on correlates of victimization with the data was recently conducted within the frameworks of criminological theories (Cho, Wooldredge, & Sun Park, 2016; Jo & Lee, 2017; S. Kim, 2010; Lee & Kim, 2017; Moon, Morash, Jeong, & Yoon, 2016; Park, 2015). Although these studies tested the applicability of criminological theories to victimization such as routine activity/lifestyles, self-control, social control, collective efficacy, and strain theories, there are handful literatures which explored repeat victimization issues by using criminological theories (Cho et al, 2016; Jo & Lee., 2017; Lee & Kim, 2017; Moon et al, 2016; Park, 2015) The results showed significant relationships between those theoretical variables and victimization in general with no significant effect of lifestyle variables (Noh, 2007).…”

Due to availability of the national victimization data and the youth panel data, interest in victimization has been increased in South Korea; however, research on sex issues in relation to correlates of repeat victimization were very limited.…”

Interest in the correlates of victimization has significantly increased in criminology, while focusing on a few criminological theories, risky lifestyles/routine activities, and self-control. This study is to explore the applicability of five criminological theories, including social control theory, collective efficacy, and strain theories as well as risky lifestyles/routine activities and self-control to explain the correlates of repeat victimization. The current study also explores sex differences/similarities of Korean youth in the correlates of repeat victimization. Current study analyzes data from two waves of Korean Youth Panel Survey by using logistic regression. Results show that risky lifestyle/routine activities, social control, and general strain variables better explained the chance of repeat victimization than other theories (i.e., self-control and collective efficacy). In addition, this study suggests future study to focus on peer-related issues for girls' repeat victimization and by addressing family-related issues for boys' repeat victimization.

“…Parks (2015) describes the use of NBR in the context of examining over-dispersed victimization data. He explained that to address this dispersion, an over-dispersion parameter is added to a Poisson model resulting in a negative binomial model (Berk and MacDonald, 2008;Winkelmann, 2008in Park, 2015. More specifically, NBR "combines the Poisson distribution of event counts with a gamma distribution of the unexplained variation in the underlying or true mean even" (Osgood, 2000:29).…”

“…Park argues that if there are reasons for victimization beyond random and independent occurrence "the negative binomial model provides a good fit for the distribution of victimization" (p.66). In other words, when non-random factors contribute to victimization rates NBR is an appropriate statistical method to identify determinants of non-random factors (Tseloni et al, 2004in Park, 2015.…”

An Intersectional Analysis of Victimization of the Homeless, Mental Health, Guardianship and Housing Status

The present study examines victimization across a localized homeless population. It is widely agreed upon across the extant literature that those experiencing homelessness are victimized at disproportionately higher rates in comparison to the general population. Utilizing routine activities and lifestyles theories, this paper examined how varying degrees of housing and mental health issues affect the likelihood of victimization for those experiencing homelessness. It was hypothesized that lower levels of housing and higher degrees of mental health issues exacerbate the high rates of victimization across the homeless population. Utilizing a routine activities perspective, this study conceptualized housing as a measure of guardianship. This study utilized a secondary data analysis design. Secondary data was accessed from the Winnipeg At Home/Chez Soi project. Using negative binominal regression, it was found that there is a relationship between mental health, guardianship, and victimization. Analyses provided partial support for the hypotheses that greater mental health challenges contribute to a higher propensity of victimization. Although the results illustrated that greater levels of stable housing did have a mitigating effect on victimization at the 12-month time period serious mental health issues were found to be a considerably stronger predictor of victimization than guardianship through housing. The findings suggest that proximity to high crime areas, certain lifestyle factors and individual activities may still account for much of high victimization rates for the homeless, despite an increase in provision of housing. Future qualitative inquiry is recommended to better understand the processes that impact victimization for the homeless with mental health issues.

Are Repeatedly Extorted Businesses Different? A Multilevel Hurdle Model of Extortion Victimization

Objectives Research consistently shows that crime concentrates on a few repeatedly victimized places and targets. In this paper we examine whether the same is true for extortion against businesses. We then test whether the factors that explain the likelihood of becoming a victim of extortion also explain the number of incidents suffered by victimized businesses. The alternative is that extortion concentration is a function of event dependence. Methods Drawing on Mexico’s commercial victimization survey, we determine whether repeat victimization occurs by chance by comparing the observed distribution to that expected under a Poisson process. Next, we utilize a multilevel negative binomial-logit hurdle model to examine whether area- and business-level predictors of victimization are also associated with the number of repeat extortions suffered by businesses. Results Findings suggest that extortion is highly concentrated, and that the predictors of repeated extortion differ from those that predict the likelihood of becoming a victim of extortion. While area-level variables showed a modest association with the likelihood of extortion victimization, they were not significant predictors of repeat incidents. Similarly, most business-level variables significantly associated with victimization risk showed insignificant (and sometimes contrary) associations with victimization concentration. Overall, unexplained differences in extortion concentration at the business-level were unaffected by predictors of extortion prevalence. Conclusions The inconsistent associations of predictors across the hurdle components suggest that extortion prevalence and concentration are fueled by two distinct processes, an interpretation congruent with theoretical expectations regarding extortion that considers that repeats are likely fueled by a process of event dependence.
