“…Furthermore, the relationship between acculturation and violent victimization is in contrast to data detailed by Wu (2008). However, the current results are in accord with nonsignificant findings of acculturative measures (years spent in the United States and language spoken at home) and violent victimization by Maffini, Wong, and Shin (2011). Current outcomes also detail that additional t-tests measuring reporting based on type of victimization indicate no significance in property, violent, or any victimization models.…”

The current research addresses fear of crime, acculturation, criminal justice understanding, and victimization measures in a sample of Asian immigrants in Harris County, Texas. Data stems from research conducted by Kercher and Kuo (2008). This study includes 729 surveys completed by adult Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Taiwanese immigrants at community centers and churches in 2007. Findings suggest significant differences in fear of crime (and to a lesser extent in variations of acculturation) and understanding of the criminal justice system when controlling for victimization status. Support was absent in bivariate and multivariate analysis for ethnic differences in victimization. Additional findings indicate that reporting victimization only significantly varies based on time spent in the United States. Discussion of findings, future directions, and policy recommendations (including community mobilization and educational efforts) are provided.

“…In this article, we adopt a broad definition of victimization to refer to a spectrum of experiences with varying degrees of severity (Maffini, Wong, & Shin, 2011). This can range from minor verbal or physical harassment to violent experiences, such as being attacked (Elias & Zins, 2003; Ho, 2008).…”

“…In a follow‐up study, Koo, Peguero, and Shekarkhar (2012) used the same data to explore the role of immigration status and gender and concluded that Asian American immigrant female students have higher odds of being threatened at school compared to White American male students. Maffini et al (2011) explored the mental repercussions among Asian American adolescents following violent victimization using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and found that family bonds weakened the link between violent victimization and somatic symptoms.…”

The model minority perception of Asian American students often ignores the academic and social challenges that many face in schools. One area that has received less attention is the school victimization experiences of Asian American adolescents. While some qualitative researchers have explored factors contributing to school victimization in recent years, missing in the literature is the scope of these incidents among Asian Americans. This paper contributes to this literature by (1) examining national trends in the victimization of Asian American adolescents in schools over the last decade and (2) investigating how victimization varies according to their gender, socioeconomic status, and achievement levels. The results show that although Asian American adolescents are consistently less likely to be bullied relative to other students, they are more likely to report experiences of racial discrimination. Victimization incidents for Asian Americans also differ by gender and academic achievement levels.

“…It is important to involve parents and school staff in bullying prevention interventions for Asian Americans (Shea et al 2016). Family bonds and cohesion were found to weaken the negative effects of violent victimization and discrimination among Asian-American adolescents (Juang and Alvarez 2010;Maffini et al 2011). Furthermore, research indicates that classes with students who respect racial diversity have lower bullying incidents (Gage et al 2014).…”

Bullying is a significant public health and social problem in the United States. As a fast-growing immigrant population, Asian-American youth are being bullied at school, yet little is known about their experience in bullying victimization. Thus, the purpose of this article is to review current findings regarding bullying victimization among Asian-American youth. A review of the literature was conducted. Twenty-three articles that met the inclusion criteria were included in the present review. The research team identified six themes including the prevalence of bullying victimization; impacts of bullying victimization; risk factors of being bullied; reporting on bullying incidents; coping strategies of parents, teachers, and schools; and current efforts to address bullying victimization. Studies indicate that 5-50% of Asian-American youth are bullied, which tends to be lower than the rates in white students, African-American students, and Hispanic students. However, bullying victimization is associated with adverse mental health and academic performance in Asian-American youth. The included studies examine individual, family, peer, school, and community factors that are related to being bullied in this population. Research also shows that only about 33% of Asian-American youth victims notify an adult after the bullying incidents. Recommendations for bullying prevention among this population are discussed.
