This article analyzes data from the British Crime Survey 1992, which revealed that more than half of reported crimes involve victims of multiple crimes of the same type. |
| Abstract:
|
Data from the survey support those from statistical modeling
and offender interviews in suggesting that event dependence is a plausible explanation for much repeat victimization, i.e., that
repeat offenses are typically the work of the same offender, even
for offense types (like burglary and theft from vehicles) where
the links between events are not intuitively obvious.
Understanding the linkages between repeat victimization and
repeat offending is essential for theory development. In
addition, the data have clear implications for police work, for
example in what goods are specified in search warrants for those
suspected of a second property offense against the same premises:
goods taken in previous offenses should also be specified.
