TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Victimization trends and correlates: macro- and microinfluences and new directions for research JO - Annual Review of Criminology A1 - Lauritsen, Janet L. A1 - Rezey, Maribeth L. SP - 103 EP - 121 VL - 1 IS - 1 N2 - This paper assesses the state of the literature on victimization and its correlates by examining a diverse set of victimization trends and by summarizing the known correlates of victimization exhibited in research conducted at varying levels of analysis. A broad assessment of victimization research is valuable because it can shed light on both the similarities and differences in a wide range of trends and correlates of criminal victimization, thus prompting useful integration of the diverse set of literatures in this field. We also highlight how some individual-level correlates of victimization vary across spatial contexts as well as in their magnitude over time. Our review suggests that further attention to the commonalities in correlates across various types of victimization, and to multilevel and macrohistorical contexts, can help improve the utility of victimization research findings for both theory and practice.
