| Abstract: |
The Delaware Statistical Analysis Center has for some years had the
opportunity to provide analysis relating to relationship between
victims and their perpetrators. The study JUVENILE VICTIMS and
THEIR PERPETRATORS, goes beyond the simple victim to offender
relationship. Within the scope of examining the circumstances
surrounding juvenile victims, first time descriptive statistics
relating to the age and gender relationships are provided across
ten types of crime. The ten crimes are aggregates based on 48
separate state criminal statutes. This construct allowed for some
unique analysis of juvenile victims. For example, we are able to
isolate the proportion of the perpetrators that were adults versus
juveniles, and if the perpetrators were juveniles, whether or not
the perpetrator was an older youth, a peer in terms of age, or a
younger youth. In addition, cross-gender victimization was
studied. Each of the ten crime groups results in separate and
distinctive pattern of juvenile victimization. |
