Abstract or Description

Institutional Anomie Theory and Situational Action Theory have received much support as explanations of criminal behaviour. However, they have not been integrated and extended to inform the field about victimization risk. This paper uses macro-level data and individual-level data from the International Self-Report Delinquency Study to develop an integrated theory of victimization.
