abstract="Pratt and Turanovic (European Journal of Criminology, 13(1):129-146, 2016) argue that previous studies operationalizing risky lifestyles as mere &quot;going out&quot; (problematic indicators of risky lifestyles) were misspecified and that &quot;improved&quot; indicators of risky lifestyle (risky behaviors) would perform better than &quot;problematic&quot; indicators in models that explain victimization. This study examines these propositions by testing the self-control/lifestyle framework of victimization using the data from a random sample of Filipino high school students at a state university in Dumaguete City, Philippines. <br><br>RESULTS show strong support to Pratt and Turanovic's claims. Self-control has stronger effects on improved indicators than on problematic ones. And, improved indicators have stronger effects than problematic indicators on property, violent, peer/sibling and sexual victimization. Moreover, the findings provide partial support for the self-control/lifestyle framework of victimization.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
