Preferred term

offending and victimization  

Definition

  • Criminological research has consistently shown that offenders are much more likely than nonoffenders to be victims and that victims are much more likely than nonvictims to be offenders. In other words, victims and offenders are often the same individuals. [Source: Encyclopedia of Victimology and Crime Prevention; Offending and Victimization]
