“…In fact, not unlike offending rates, victimization rates are highest among young, minority, males and are inflated in socially disorganized areas, leading to the suggestion that offenders and victims are, in fact, overlapping populations (Dobrin, 2001;Lauritsen et al, 1991;Mustaine and Tewksbury, 2000;Wolfgang, 1958). This interpretation is bolstered by consistent evidence documenting a history of offending and/or risk taking behavior among crime victims (Bjarnason et al, 1999;Daday et al 2005;Dobrin, 2001;Esbensen and Huizinga, 1991;Jensen and Brownfield, 1986;Kellerman et al, 1993;Klevens et al, 2002;Lauritsen et al, 1991;Sampson and Lauritsen, 1990;Zhang et al, 2001). This body of research has generally been grounded in lifestyle routine activities and self-control theories, which combined, suggest that individuals with low self-control exhibit high-risk lifestyles and activity patterns that draw them to criminogenic environments and increase their chances for criminal involvement as both an offender and a victim.…”
