Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Victimization and repeat victimization have been studied through different theories (strain, lifestyles, routine activities) and types of victimization. Young adults and adolescents can experience an array of victimizations, such as interpersonal violence, domestic violence, sexual violence, alcohol/drug-related violence, and victimization that occurs while using the internet or social media. More recent research includes crimes that occur through the use of the internet, as well as violence in schools. Important questions in this area of research include the following: why are some adolescents and young adults more vulnerable to victimization than others and what are the risks associated with repeat victimization? Gaining a better understanding of the answers to these questions can better equip those who work with victims to direct resources to those most in need.
This Special Issue aims to gather empirical, methodological, and theoretical research reporting original results on victimization and repeat victimization of adolescents and young adults. This issue will not only focus on the causes of victimization but on solutions to the problem as well as the protective factors associated with reducing victimization and repeat victimization. Those who focus on traditional types of crime as well as those who focus on newer types of crime are encouraged to share their work.
For consideration in this journal, please submit your proposals and any questions to the special issue guest editor by 31 January 2024. Notification of acceptance will be provided by 1 March 2024. Final papers are due on 31 October 2024 for peer review.
