Abstract
Social interest in juvenile delinquency/crime is rising in Korea. In this context, a broad understanding of the victimization-crime link and poly-victimization is required to discover, protect, and support youth at risk. This study aims to explain how poly-victimization affects victimization, crime, and repeated events of victimization and crime.
 A sample was drawn from the first three waves of the Korean Youth Panel Survey. Participants were classified as inexperienced, minority victims, and poly-victims based on their experience of crime victimization at Wave 1. Four multivariate regression models were used to analyze the effect of poly-victimization at Wave 1 on crime and victimization at Wave 2 and 3, respectively. A negative binomial regression model was used to analyze the effect of poly-victimization on repeated victimization, crime, and overlap over Wave 2 and 3.
 The results revealed the positive effect of poly-victimization on victimization at Wave 2 and 3, as well as repeat victimization and repeat overlap, respectively. Poly-victimization had no significant effect on crime at Wave 2 and 3, but it had a negative effect on the risk of repeat crime. Based on the results of this study, the policy implications for the youth and suggestions for follow-up studies were described.
