“…Another element that may influence the reliability levels is the low number of items. Eventually, other indicators could be considered to evaluate the reliability of the JVQ with different and more robust results [ 51 ].…”

This study examined the prevalence and risk factors associated to victimization by caregivers in a national large sample of Chilean children and adolescents. 19,687 children and adolescents aged 12–17, selected by random probability sampling of 699 public schools in Chile who were surveyed by trained interviewers. Victimization by Caregivers was evaluated through a module of the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ). The prevalence (12 months) for physical abuse were (12.9%), for emotional abuse (27.9%), neglect (5.3%) and parental interference (3.5%). The results suggest as risk factors, sex, age, migration status, disability, geographical location, and type of school. The findings highlight the urgent need to address the issue of child maltreatment and victimization by caregivers in Chilean society and minimize its impact.

“…Del mismo modo, las autoras determinaron que el método de víctimas por encima de la media y el 10% superior más victimizado tenían el menor grado de consistencia. Sin embargo, estos dos métodos han sido aplicados simultáneamente en una gran cantidad de estudios (Bogolyubova et al, 2015;Pereda et al, 2017;Pereda, Abad y Guilera, 2015;Pereda et al, 2014;Pinto-Cortez et al, 2018;Pinto-Cortez et al, 2017;Segura et al, 2015).…”

“…Otros estudios (Bogolyubova et al, 2018;Guerra et al, 2017;Pinto-Cortez et al, 2018) utilizan la versión retrospectiva para adultos. El JVQ está diseñado para detectar la victimización sufrida en un periodo de tiempo relativamente corto, y aunque esta versión permita identificar la victimización completa durante la infancia y la adolescencia, se debe tener precaución puesto que algunos tipos específicos de victimización pueden ser difíciles de recordar con el paso del tiempo .…”

El concepto de polivictimización, entendido como la experimentación de múltiples tipos de victimización durante la infancia y la adolescencia, está ampliamente reconocido. El desarrollo del Cuestionario de Victimización Juvenil ha permitido un estudio comprehensivo de este fenómeno. No obstante, no hay acuerdo en la definición metodológica, existiendo múltiples elementos que inciden en la detección de polivíctimas. El objetivo es realizar una revisión del concepto de polivictimización desde una perspectiva metodológica. Se incluyen 30 artículos de los que se describe su método de análisis, el marco temporal analizado, el tipo de muestra y la versión del instrumento aplicada. Se discute cómo la variabilidad de criterios metodológicos construye una definición de polivíctimas diferente en cada investigación, afectando a los puntos de corte y a la detección de polivíctimas. Este trabajo ofrece orientación para comprender la prevalencia de la polivictimización, y puede servir como guía a nuevos investigadores de este campo de estudio.

“…Experiencing situations of violence during important stages of physical and psychological development can compromise psychological adaptation over time [11]. Thus, the international literature that was more focused on developmental victimology has shown that some children and adolescents may experience more than one type of violence throughout their lives [12][13][14], and that these incidents are sometimes interconnected, even if apparently different [15], creating a cumulative risk [16]. Studies in the field of juvenile victimology, and the consideration of the co-occurrence and implications of these for the development of children and adolescents, are important to allow a better understanding of phenomena such as multiple victimization or polyvictimization, and the development of intervention practices that are appropriate for the problem [17,18].…”

Child and Adolescent Multiple Victimization and/or Polyvictimization: A Portuguese Comparative Study

Worldwide, children and adolescents are exposed to violence every day and in countless contexts, whether in the family, at school, or in the community. Child multiple victimization has been the subject of extensive international research because of the impact on child and youth development. A quantitative and comparative study aiming to understand child multiple victimization and/or polyvictimization from the perspective of children is presented. Two groups were studied, with and without psychological counselling, with 20 children each, aged 12–18 years old. All the participants answered to juvenile victimization questionnaire (JVQ). The study was approved by the University Ethics Committee responsible for the study in Portugal, and it was initiated after the obtained consent of the children’s legal guardians. The results indicated that young people frequently experience violent situations, with particular emphasis on conventional crimes, e.g., theft, robbery, vandalism, and assault with or without a weapon, with sexual victimization being less common. The results also show that there is a cumulative experience of violence, which evidences multiple victimization and polyvictimization of the child/adolescent throughout their life. These phenomena are not necessarily more common between populations with clinical follow-up. When the types of violence were compared, multiple victimization and polyvictimization, this study found no differences between the samples with and without psychological counselling. It can be concluded that the multiple victimization or polyvictimization problem is not unusual among the population in the studied age range. It is important to alert to the phenomenon of child/adolescent multiple victimization, aiming at a more effective assessment and intervention among these populations. Raising awareness of the phenomenon of multiple child and youth victimization or polyvictimization is of particular importance for preventing violence at all stages of development.
