This chapter reviews 231 research studies (representing 233 different samples) on personal poly-victimization—defined as experiencing more than one type of personal victimization. Definitions, descriptions, and operationalizations of poly-victimization were reviewed across studies, along with samples, methods, and prevalence rates. While nuances existed, this research broadly defined, operationalized, and/or referred to poly-victimization as experiencing more than one victimization. Various types of victimization were examined, but a majority of this literature explored childhood maltreatment, assessing these experiences among general population, school-based, and high-risk samples. Prevalence rates ranged widely, depending on the sample used, victimization type(s) explored, and the measurement of recurrent victimization.

摘要

This chapter reviews 231 research studies (representing 233 different samples) on personal poly-victimization—defined as experiencing more than one type of personal victimization. Definitions, descriptions, and operationalizations of poly-victimization were reviewed across studies, along with samples, methods, and prevalence rates. While nuances existed, this research broadly defined, operationalized, and/or referred to poly-victimization as experiencing more than one victimization. Various types of victimization were examined, but a majority of this literature explored childhood maltreatment, assessing these experiences among general population, school-based, and high-risk samples. Prevalence rates ranged widely, depending on the sample used, victimization type(s) explored, and the measurement of recurrent victimization.
