What are some individual-level risk factors that increase repeat victimization?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: The recurring victimization literature has found that males are more likely to be victims repeatedly than females (for all types of victimizations except sexual victimization). In addition, younger people are at a greater risk for recurring victimization than are older persons. Single and divorced (Tseloni, 2000) persons face greater risks of repeat victimization than others. Socioeconomic and employment status are two additional demographic characteristics that have been linked to recurring victimization.
