description
More than half of child population worldwide is estimated suffering some type of victimization that, in the medium and long term, can increase the probability of presenting risky behaviors, violence, new victimizations or mental health problems. The objective of this study is to retrospectively explore self-reported rates of different types of victimization suffered up to 18 years old in a sample of 824 (74.5% women) Argentine university students. The Spanish version of the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ; Finkelhor et al., 2005) was administered. Around 98% of the sample reported having suffered at least one type of victimization throughout childhood. Men reported higher prevalence than women in all types of victimization, except online victimization (more prevalent in women) and sexual victimization (without differences between sexes). The 10% of the sample that experienced the most victimizations were considered as poly-victims (Finkelhor et al., 2009). This group reported having experienced 19 types of victimization on average (range= 17 to 31). The alarming rates and the similarities with other countries highlight the importance of having reliable data that allow not only rethinking existing policies but also comparing the magnitude and explanation of the phenomenon between countries. This will improve public policies for the protection of children based on empirical evidence and collaboration between countries, especially in highly vulnerable regions such as Latin America.

El presente estudio explora retrospectivamente las tasas autoinformadas de diferentes tipos de victimización sufridos hasta los 18 años de edad en una muestra de 824 (74,5% mujeres) estudiantes universitarios argentinos. Se administró la versión en español del Cuestionario de Victimización Infantil (JVQ) (Finkelhor et al., 2005; Pereda et al., 2014). El 98% de la muestra reportó haber sufrido al menos un tipo de victimización a lo largo de la infancia. Los varones presentaron prevalencias significativamente superiores a las mujeres en todo tipo de victimización, a excepción de la victimización online (más prevalente en las mujeres) y sexual (sin diferencias entre sexos). Fueron consideradas como polivíctimas el 10% de la muestra que más victimizaciones experimentó (Finkelhor et al., 2009), este grupo indicó haber experimentado, en promedio, 20 tipos de victimizaciones, con un rango que osciló entre 17 y 31. Las cifras alarmantes y sus similitudes con las de otros países destacan la importancia de contar con datos fiables que permitan no sólo repensar las políticas ya existentes, sino comparar la magnitud y explicación del fenómeno entre países. Esto permitirá mejorar las políticas públicas de protección de la infancia a partir del sustento empírico y del esfuerzo colaborativo entre países, especialmente en regiones de alta vulnerabilidad como Latinoamérica.2022text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8508858(Revista) ISSN 2385-779XRevista de Victimología, ISSN 2385-779X, Nº. 13, 2022 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Revista de Victimología /Journal of Victimology), pags. 9-34spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
