dc.descriptionThere is considerable evidence that victimization is pervasive in the backgrounds of delinquent girls. This study collected lifespan data on girls victimization and juvenile offending to: 1) examine range, diversity, and co-occurrence of different types of violence over the course of girls lives, identifying strength and dynamics of relationships between forms of exposure; 2) examine independent, relative, and cumulative trajectories of risk for varied types of victimization over the lifespan, including critical periods of risk; 3) examine additional ecological factors as these relate to victimization; and 4) examine relationship of victimization to nature and chronicity of girls' offending. Life History Calendars were used in conjunction with the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire to examine co-occurrence of multiple forms of abuse and develop a comprehensive view of girls' experiences.
