dc.descriptionThis paper summarizes the key findings on poly-victimized youth in the United States, using data from the National Survey of Children Exposed to Violence (NatSCEV). NatSCEV estimated violence and victimization exposure in a nationally representative sample of 4,549 children and adolescents from age one month to 17 years. NatSCEV provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive statistics on the co-occurrence among different forms of youth violence. Poly-victimization refers to the experience of multiple victimizations of different kinds, such as sexual abuse, physical abuse, bullying, and exposure to family violence, not just multiple episodes of the same kind of victimization. The threshold used in research connected to NatSCEV classifies roughly the most victimized 10 percent of the survey sample as poly-victims.18, 19
