abstract="The research presented here is essentially descriptive, but includes new empirical findings on repeat victimization. Based on data from nine waves of the National Youth Survey (NYS), encompassing the years 1976-1992 and respondents' ages ranging from 11 to 33, the present study examines the seriousness of victimization incidents reported in the NYS; the distribution of annual, cumulative, and repeat victimization by age, gender, and ethnicity; the extent to which victimization tends to be concentrated, with a relatively small proportion of victims accounting for a relatively large proportion of the victimization incidents; the extent to which victimization tends to be repeat victimization as opposed to isolated incidents; and the extent to which repeat victimization tends to be continuous rather than intermittent. Differences between patterns for violent victimization and property victimization are highlighted.<p />",
