“…A well-established finding in the field of criminology is the victim–offender (V-O) overlap (Berg & Mulford, 2020; Jennings et al, 2012), linking individuals reporting both offending and victimization across multiple conflicts including delinquency, homicide, and other violent crime (Jennings et al, 2012). This finding holds up across time, place, and subgroups (Beckley et al, 2018; Berg & Mulford, 2020; Jennings et al, 2010; Kushner et al, 2020). Although most disputes do not lead to abusive behavior or violence (Gould, 2003), most homicides and assaults emerge from verbal disputes which escalate to identity contests and bilateral physical abuse (Cooney, 1998; Tedeschi & Felson, 1994).…”

“…Findings regarding gender have been mixed. Gender has not distinguished the V-O overlap in some studies (Muftić et al, 2015;Tillyer & Wright, 2014), but was a significant characteristic in two nationally representative studies (Kushner, 2020;Taylor et al, 2019). Background factors such as substance use have also been implicated in the V-O overlap (Klevens et al, 2002;Reingle, Staras, et al, 2012).…”

This study addresses the dearth of research in the victim–offender (V-O) overlap literature regarding the context in which incident-level abuse occurs. With a national sample of 589 young adults (age 18–32), 9.2% reported 2,015 daily conflicts (73% involving abuse) through digital diaries over a 6-week period. Using individual conflicts as our unit of analysis, we estimated multilevel models to explore both the nature of the individual conflicts and the characteristics of the parties in the conflict. We explored what distinguishes routine nonabusive conflicts from conflicts that involve abuse. We also examined the predictors of abusive conflicts and the V-O overlap. The nature of the incidents and proximities of the parties to the conflict were associated with the presence of abuse in conflicts and the V-O overlap. How young adults manage conflicts played a role in whether the dispute escalated to include abusive behaviors, especially mutual abuse.

“…In contrast, other internalized negative emotions did not have any significant conditioning effects. Similarly, Kushner et al (2020) also applied a cross-sectional analysis drawing on a sample of adults in a non-Western context: two cities in Russia and Ukraine. Several types of victimization, including violent, property, and sexual victimization, were measured and combined to be utilized as a composite variable for strain.…”

Drawing on theoretical propositions of general strain theory (GST), the current study aims to examine whether general victimization as a source of criminogenic strain predicts two different types of bullying, traditional and cyberbullying perpetrations, and whether negative emotionality, such as trait-based anger and depression, conditions the effects of general victimization on bullying. Using a Korean adolescent sample, we adopt cross-lagged dynamic panel models to investigate the longitudinal effects and interactions of strain and negative emotionality. The results indicate a significant influence of general victimization on both types of bullying perpetrations, as expected, while the conditioning effects of negative emotionality are found only for traditional bullying, which may reflect differences in the nature of the two different forms of bullying.

“…The Victim-Offender Overlap Most contemporary literature on the victim-offender overlap, or relationship between victimization and offending, indicates widespread support of the phenomenon (Jennings et al, 2010(Jennings et al, , 2012Kushner et al, 202 ). The rationale and theoretical explanations for the overlap, however, remains subject to debate (Berg & Mulford, 2020).…”

“…The positive association between criminal victimization and criminal offending, or the “victim–offender overlap” is one of the most robust findings in criminological research, yielding strong support across time, place, and subgroups (Berg & Mulford, 2020; Jennings et al, 2010, 2012; Kushner et al, 2020). In a recent meta-analysis, Jennings et al (2012) found that 31 of 37 studies showed support for this association.…”

Empirical research has demonstrated widespread support for the association between violent victimization and offending, or the “victim–offender overlap.” This study adds to this body of research by applying the betrayal trauma framework to investigate whether the relationship between the victim and perpetrator impacts the presence of the victim–offender overlap and whether these effects differ across gender. Specifically, this study utilizes a series of binary logistic regressions to investigate (a) whether violent victimization is associated with violent offending, (b) whether this relationship varies by victim–perpetrator relationship (familial vs. nonfamilial vs. both), and (c) whether the impact of this relationship varies across gender. Data come from the third and most recent wave of the National Survey of Children’s Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV III; n = 1,949). Results indicate that violent victimization is associated with violent offending. When disaggregated by perpetrator-type, the results show that experiencing familial-only perpetrated violence and experiencing both familial and nonfamilial perpetrated violence are significantly associated with violent offending while experiencing nonfamilial-only perpetrated violence is not significantly associated with violent offending. Furthermore, the results indicate that the effects of the perpetrator–victim relationship vary across gender, such that the impacts of familial- and nonfamilial-only perpetrated violence were significantly weaker for males compared with females. The effects of experiencing violent victimization from both familial and nonfamilial perpetrators does not vary across genders. These findings lend support to a gender-specific betrayal trauma framework as well as research on the effects of cumulative victimization. Directions for future research and clinical implications are identified.
