Key Information
Repeat victimisation = the target experiences multiple crimes over a period of
time
Example: Burglary – someone who has been burgled once is more likely to be
burgled again. It’s important to direct resources immediately after the first
incident i.e. improving home security, set up a neighbourhood watch scheme.
Domestic abuse and violence victims are often repeat victims
Crime surveys don’t tend to represent data very well – we don’t really
understand the true nature of repeat crimes.
They are not necessarily discreet incidences so it’s hard to categorise them,
it’s more like a continual process.
Are certain people more vulnerable to being repetitively victimised?
Children
Drug dealers
Elderly people e.g. phone scams
Gang members
Prostitutes
Mentally or physical disabled individuals
Entertainment staffs
Carnival workers
Restaurant workers – could be related to the hours they work where they are
more likely to come across drunk people
Gas station workers
Those who work or visit abortion clinics
