“…In comparison to other studies, our results suggest an average victimization score at an earlier age. For the last year scores, 72.5% of our population reported at least one victimization experience; this percentage is slightly higher than that found in a study with 4,549 U.S. children and adolescents (69.3%) (Finkelhor, Ormrod, & Turner, 2009), and in a study with 1,107 Spanish adolescents (68.6%) (Pereda, Guilera, & Abad, 2014). In both cases, the population was older than ours.…”

“…This prevalence was higher than that for Spanish youths (32.1%) (Pereda et al . ) and Swedish adolescents (34%) (Aho et al, ), who were also generally older than our population. Conventional Crimes were the second most frequent type of victimization in our sample: 37.5%.…”

“…Maltreatment in last year was reported by 17.5% of preadolescents, similarly to the Spain (18.1%) (Pereda et al . ) and Hong Kong (21.1%) (Chan et al ., ) studies. Peer and sibling victimization (30% of preadolescents) was also similar to Spanish (30.6%) (Pereda et al .…”

“…Peer and sibling victimization (30% of preadolescents) was also similar to Spanish (30.6%) (Pereda et al . ) and Swedish (30%) estimates with adolescents (but again, those studies included older participants) (Aho et al, ). The results show 7.5% of youths reported sexual victimization in the last year; this result is higher than the prevalence of sexual abuse in other studies (Chan et al ., ; Pereda et al ., ).…”

The present study investigated exposure to violence and its association with brain function and hair cortisol concentrations in Latin‐American preadolescents. Self‐reported victimization scores (JVQ‐R2), brain imaging (fMRI) indices for a social cognition task (the ‘eyes test’), and hair cortisol concentrations were investigated, for the first time, in this population. The eyes test is based on two conditions: attributing mental state or sex to pictures of pairs of eyes (Baron‐Cohen, Wheelwright, Hill, Raste, & Plumb, 2001). The results showed an association among higher victimization scores and (a) less activation of posterior temporoparietal right‐hemisphere areas, in the mental state condition only (including right temporal sulcus and fusiform gyrus); (b) higher functional connectivity indices for the Amygdala and Right Fusiform Gyrus (RFFG) pair of brain regions, also in the mental state condition only; (c) higher hair cortisol concentrations. The results suggest more exposure to violence is associated with significant differences in brain function and connectivity. A putative mechanism of less activation in posterior right‐hemisphere regions and of synchronized Amygdala: RFFG time series was identified in the mental state condition only. The results also suggest measurable effects of exposure to violence in hair cortisol concentrations, which contribute to the reliability of self‐reported scores by young adolescents. The findings are discussed in light of the effects of exposure to violence on brain function and on social‐cognitive development in the adolescent brain.

Cibercriminalidad social juvenil: la cifra negra

Monográfico «Ciberdelincuencia y cibervictimización» ResumenEl ciberespacio constituye un contexto básico de socialización para los nativos digitales, al tiempo que se configura como un espacio de oportunidad criminal en el que niños, niñas y jóvenes continúan siendo víctimas y agresores. Fenómenos como el ciberacoso, el online grooming o el sexting constituyen formas de cibercriminalidad social que implican a un importante número de menores en España cada año. Sin embargo, las elevadas prevalencias aportadas por los estudios de cibervictimización y ciberdelincuencia autorrevelada no concuerdan con el escaso impacto del ciberdelito juvenil en las estadísticas oficiales y en los tribunales de justicia. Según datos oficiales, se observa una tendencia creciente de la cibercriminalidad en los últimos años, pero representa menos de un 2% de todos los delitos conocidos. Los datos disponibles sobre la implicación de menores en estos casos son muy fragmentarios y muestran que únicamente un 4,5% de todas las cibervictimizaciones conocidas y un 7,1% de todas las detenciones e imputaciones por ciberdelitos afectan a menores.Entre las posibles explicaciones a esta discrepancia destacan la escasez de denuncias por parte de las cibervíctimas, la ausencia de pruebas para la imputación y esclarecimiento de los hechos y las dificultades técnicas para dejar constancia del componente cibernético al registrar el ilícito. La elevada cifra negra de la cibercriminalidad social juvenil contribuye a la invisibilidad del fenómeno, lo que refuerza el sentimiento de impunidad de los ciberagresores y el de desprotección e indefensión de las cibervíctimas, por lo que podría considerarse incluso cierta forma de victimización secundaria.

Female Victimization in Northern and Western E urope

In recent decades, violent crime has been on the downswing. This is true in northern and western Europe. However, more fine‐grained analyses indicate that the prevalence of victimization is different depending on the type of crime and the type of victim (male or female). Additionally, changes in victimization are rarely the same for males and females. Violent crime, including homicide, while down, is generally declining more for men than women. Rape and sexual assault victimization have seen increases depending on the source of data. While broad trends are similar across countries, international research shows that the specifics regarding the prevalence of victimization and changing rates can be different depending on the region. This calls for more work on the gendered nature of victimization in cross‐national criminological research.
