“…Research firmly documents the victim-offender overlap, which describes individuals’ involvement in crime as both victims and offenders (Iratzoqui 2018). Research indicates that the victim-offender overlap exists for many types of crimes (Jennings, Piquero, and Reingle 2012) such as intimate partner violence (Iratzoqui 2018; Muftic and Hunt 2013; Spivey and Nodeland 2021; Tillyer and Wright 2014), child abuse (Miley et al 2020; Oei et al 2021; Rivera and Widom 1990), and violent crimes, including homicide (Hiltz, Bland, and Barnes 2020; Jennings et al 2010; Muftić, Finn, and Marsh 2015; Pyrooz, Moule, and Decker 2014). The victim-offender overlap has also been documented in cases of sex trafficking (Baxter 2020; Finn et al 2015), because human trafficking victims are often forced by their traffickers to commit crimes.…”

Research solidly documents the victim-offender overlap in various crimes, including human trafficking. Given the hidden nature of this exploitative crime, increasing the identification of victims is crucial. One way to do this is through the creation and implementation of screening tools. To date, most screening tools for human trafficking victims are created by and implemented in the field of health care or with youth or young adults, particularly those who have experienced housing instability. However, the use of these tools to identify victims of human trafficking in correctional settings—where victims are often misidentified as offenders—is limited. To address this deficiency, a victim-centered, trauma-informed screening tool was implemented in a local detention center to identify human trafficking victims, with the purpose of offering them resources to facilitate their exit from trafficking situations. This article outlines the creation and implementation of the tool and discusses its successes, challenges, lessons learned, and recommendations for replication.

“…It should be clarified that this does not mean that migrants, due to their own negligence, are responsible for the crimes they suffer on their journeys through Mexico. Nor does it imply accepting theoretical currents on victimization that consider that it is the victims who precipitate the crimes(Amir 1967;Curtis 1974;Muftic ́and Hunt 2013).…”

Criminal Victimization of Central American Migrants in Transit Through Mexico

This article examines the factors associated with robbery or assault victimization for Central American migrants in transit through Mexico to the United States. A theoretical model of victimization of transit migrants is developed. Drawing on the Survey on Migration in the Southern Border of Mexico 2018 and 2019, a descriptive and logistic regression analysis is carried out to analyze how migrants’ sociodemographic characteristics and journey characteristics are associated with victimization events. The article shows that migrants who used trains and trucks and who received support from assistance networks (e.g., migrant shelters) had higher relative odds of being robbed or assaulted, whereas migrants who hired coyotes had lower relative odds of being victimized. The findings of this work highlight the usefulness of surveys conducted on migrants after deportation to analyze the victimization that international migrants suffer during their dangerous journeys across borders and territories.

“…Similarly, the term 'victimization', coined by several scholars (Aquino & Bommer, 2003;Aquino & Bradfield, 2000;Aquino & Thau, 2009), refers to victims' individual perspectives and perceptions of aggressive behaviors towards them (Aquino & Bommer, 2003;Aquino & Bradfield, 2000;Aquino & Thau, 2009). This definition is grounded in the well-established criminological Victimology Approach, which examines the process by which one becomes a victim, and is concerned with factors (both internal and external to the victim) that could increase or decrease the probability of becoming a victim (Muftić, 2008). In this context, the victimology approach itemizes a number of risk factors that are most likely to increase the probability of individuals to become victims.…”

Interpersonal Mistreatment—Definitions of Offensive Behaviors

The Challenges of Academic Incivility

Having introduced the overall concept of deviant behaviors, the present chapter introduces the theoretical roots of interpersonal mistreatment and examines the relationships between earlier and more recent conceptualizations of this phenomenon. A wide range of definitions and constructs that demonstrate different aspects of interpersonal mistreatment is introduced, and reciprocities and differences between them are highlighted. This discussion eventually leads the reader to the central theme of the book-the concept of incivility.The roots of interpersonal mistreatment, as a concept, can be traced back to Gouldner's The Norm of Reciprocity (1960), and to another seminal study, now considered its counterpart, Reciprocity for Harm Done (Helm, Bonoma, & Tedeschi, 1972). Gouldner (1960), the first to address interpersonal reciprocation, defined a basic universal moral standard of reciprocity by suggesting that the norm of reciprocity was based on two interrelated demands: "(1) people should help those who have helped them, and (2) people should not harm those who have helped them" (p. 171). Twelve years later, Helm et al. (1972) introduced a negative norm of reciprocity, stating that people tend to negatively retaliate against those who had hurt them. One of the authors' interesting findings was that targets of aggressive interpersonal behaviours often perceived frequent aggressors as less attractive and less esteemed yet as more active and more potent, than infrequent aggressors. They further noted that participants in the study tended to inflict more harm than they had received when the frequency of the original harmful actions against themselves was low, yet when this frequency was high, they tended to retaliate with less intensity. These findings suggest that the frequency of deviant interpersonal behaviors impacts targets' reactions. Indeed, throughout this chapter, we will discuss the role of frequency as part of the definitions of interpersonal mistreatment and targets' reactions to it. We will begin by introducing Nora's (not her real name) account.It all started in October 2005, when I was appointed finance and procurement manager by the head of my department. Following the appointment, Rachel [not her real name], my direct superior, summoned the department secretary and myself to a meeting. She said that my new duties did not add up to a full-time position and therefore, she decided to assign some of the secretarial duties to me. I pointed out that I had been promoted to my new position (finance
