Women and Children as Victims and Offenders: Background, Prevention, Reintegration

Abstract

A growing body of research has described and documented the risk/protective factors associated with serious/violent offending and victimization. While these two streams of criminology were originally investigated as separate entities, the amassing research in both fields revealed clear overlap in risk factors, leading to the conclusion that the offender is also typically the victim and vice versa. The current chapter seeks to describe this literature and map the conceptual overlap between the offending and victimization of women and children. Specifically, this chapter: (1) describes the typical victim profile; (2) outlines the risk factors associated with serious/violent offending and victimization, and their distinct developmental pathways; and (3) reviews current intervention programs that have successfully reduced serious/violent offending and victimization.
