=== Quantification of victim-proneness ===
There have been some studies recently to quantify the real existence of victim-proneness.<ref>David Thissen (The [[University of Kansas]], [[Lawrence, Kansas]]) and Howard Wainer ([[Educational Testing Service]], [[Princeton, New Jersey]]), {{cite journal |title=Toward the Measurement and Prediction of Victim Proneness |journal=Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency |volume=20 |issue=2 |pages=243–261 |year=1983 |doi=10.1177/002242788302000206 |last1=Thissen |first1=David |last2=Wainer |first2=Howard |s2cid=145440925 |url=https://semanticscholar.org/paper/57450be68a58203ec0e00d3e7d0db624367a09bc }}</ref> Contrary to the popular belief that more women are repeat victims, and thus more victim-prone than men, actually men in their prime (15- to 34-year-old males) are more likely to be victims of repeated crimes.<ref>{{cite journal |first=Johannes |last=Kingma |title=Repeat Victimization of Victims of Violence: A Retrospective Study From a Hospital Emergency Department for the Period 1971–1995 |journal=Journal of Interpersonal Violence |volume=14|issue= 1|pages= 79–90 |year=1999 |doi=10.1177/088626099014001005|s2cid=73876342 }}</ref>
 
In the case of juvenile offenders, the study results also show that people are more likely to be victimized as a result of a serious offense by someone they know; the most frequent crimes committed by adolescents towards someone they know were sexual assault, common assault, and homicide. Adolescents victimizing people they did not know generally committed common assault, forcible confinement, and armed or unarmed robbery.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Lusignan | first1 = Richard | year = 2007 | title = Risk Assessment and Offender–Victim relationship in Juvenile Offenders | journal = International Journal of Offender Therapy and Comparative Criminology | volume = 51 | issue = 4| pages = 433–443 | doi=10.1177/0306624x06294135| pmid = 17652147 | s2cid = 28660909 }}</ref>
