피해자와 가해자 중첩의 인과적 과정

Abstract

This study investigates the causal process of victim-offender overlap across the adolescent developmental stage. This study hypothesizes that victimization causes subsequent offending; offending causes subsequent victimization; the effect of victimization on offending can be explained by delinquent peers, parental bonds, and self control; the effect of offending on victimization can also be explained by delinquent peers, parental bonds, and self control. Three-wave data from the Korean Children & Youth Panel Survey are used to test hypotheses. The results show that victim-offender overlap represents a dynamic process observed in the short-term and long-term period; the causal process of victim-offender overlap can be better explained by the effect of victimization on offending; the effect of victimization on offending can be explained by delinquent peers and self control; the effect of offending on victimization can be explained by delinquent peers; the most influential factor determining victim-offender overlap is delinquent peers.
