“…For instance, Hart and Miethe (2011) found that in the campus context, males represent the majority of victims and offenders. Additionally, in a study about student characteristics, Han (2015) concluded that attendance status, age, program completion, residence status, and grant recipient predicted campus victimization. Surprisingly, only one variablethe institutional domainwas associated with both direct and indirect victimization; more specifically, victims tended to attend engineering universities/schools.…”

“…The role of the gender of the victim remains a controversial issue due to mixed results for both direct and indirect victimization. For instance, Baum and Klaus (2005) showed that direct victims were mainly males, while Han (2015) did not find gender differences. A similar pattern has been found for indirect victimization; while Tomsich et al (2011) concluded that males reported higher rates of victimization than females, Fox et al (2009) found no significant association between gender and indirect victimization.…”

This study addressed and characterized direct and indirect criminal victimization among college students and examined the associations between victimization and other variables. The participants were 775 students of both genders with a mean age of 21.76 years. Data were collected through self-reports using the "Diagnosis of Local Security Questionnaire". Overall, 8.6% of the students reported direct victimization, and 39.7% reported indirect victimization. The most reported crimes were robbery and theft, while the least prevalent were sexual offense, domestic violence, and fraud. Most incidents involved a stranger and occurred at night in the street. Direct victimization was associated with gender, age, marital status, student level, attendance status, and institution domain. There were significant associations between indirect victimization and nationality, student type, attendance status, and institution domain. The perception of (in)security was significantly associated with victimization. Therefore, physical and social measures are necessary to reduce crime and increase security. ARTICLE HISTORY
