Continuous Time Modeling with Criminological Panel Data: An Application to the Longitudinal Association between Victimization and OffendingReinecke, J.; Erdmann, A. & Völkle, M.

DOI: 10.12758/mda.2023.01.
Background: Criminological research shows that there is nearly always a strong and positive association between delinquency and being a victim of crime. This so-called victim-offender overlap is one of the most consistent and best documented findings in criminology. However, examinations using longitudinal panel data are rather scarce. Previous analyses based on latent growth and cross-lagged panel models showed that the developments of victimization and offending are parallel processes that (...)The Impact of Peer Groups and Routine Activities on the Victim-Offender Overlap: Evidence from a German Study on Youth CrimeErdmann, A. (2022): The Impact of Peer Groups and Routine Activities on the Victim-Offender Overlap: Evidence from a German Study on Youth Crime. In: International Criminal Justice Review 32(2), pp. 178–198. DOI: 10.1177/10575677211038617.
Despite the substantive evidence on the victim-offender overlap from various national contexts, comprehensive examinations for Germany are lacking. This article provides insights into peer group-related correlates of the victim-offender overlap by specifically differentiating the roles of victims, offenders, and victim-offenders. The analysis examines risk factors for involvement in violence using a sample of 3,519 14- and 16-year-old students from a large crime study conducted in Germany.

Does the Neighborhood Context Shape Violent Victimization Independent of Delinquency? A Mediation Analysis of Victimization among German Urban AdolescentsErdmann, A. (2021): Does the Neighborhood Context Shape Violent Victimization Independent of Delinquency? A Mediation Analysis of Victimization among German Urban Adolescents. In: Victims & Offenders 16(2), pp. 223–246. DOI: 10.1080/15564886.2020.1811818.
Research findings suggest that there is a strong relationship between offending and being a victim of crime, whereby victimization is often a consequence of delinquent behavior. Therefore, impacts of explanatory variables on victimization might only occur as a noncausal by-product induced by their influences on delinquency. This study investigates the influences of neighborhood characteristics on violent victimization while also considering the role of delinquency as a potential mediator. Using (...)What Influences the Victimization of High-Level Offenders? A Dual Trajectory Analysis of the Victim-Offender Overlap from the Perspective of Routine Activities with Peer GroupsErdmann, A. & Reinecke, J. (2021): What Influences the Victimization of High-Level Offenders? A Dual Trajectory Analysis of the Victim-Offender Overlap from the Perspective of Routine Activities with Peer Groups.

Although the consistent association between offending and victimization is a long-noted phenomenon, current criminological research is still engaged to gather profound knowledge on the etiology of this victim-offender overlap. Beyond that, the examination of its development over the life course requires further attention to create a better understanding of why offending and victimization are strongly connected. Applying a joint trajectory technique, the present study examines the overlap between (...)Non-Randomized Response Models. An Experimental Application of the Triangular Model as an Indirect Questioning Method for Sensitive TopicsErdmann, A. (2019): Non-Randomized Response Models. An Experimental Application of the Triangular Model as an Indirect Questioning Method for Sensitive Topics. In: methods, data, analyses 13(1), pp. 139–167. DOI: 10.12758/mda.2018.07
When it comes to sensitive questions, data is often affected by bias due to non-response or effects of social desirability. Several methods have been introduced to eliminate answer bias by using randomization processes and probabilistic theory to obscure the respondent’s answer and create anonymity, thus facilitating honest answers. The probably most traditional method is the Randomized Response Technique by Warner (1965). However, this method is loaded with certain disadvantages. Therefore, in (...)Youth Violence in Germany. Examining the Victim–Offender Overlap During the Transition From Adolescence to Early AdulthoodErdmann, A. & Reinecke, J. (2018): Youth Violence in Germany. Examining the Victim–Offender Overlap During the Transition From Adolescence to Early Adulthood. In: Criminal Justice Review 43(3), pp. 325–344. DOI: 10.1177/0734016818761529.
The victim–offender overlap is currently under discussion in criminology. However, the connection between victimization and offending over the life course still requires further investigation. The present study examines whether the victim–offender overlap is invariant during the transition from adolescence to early adulthood using seven consecutive waves of the German Research Foundation–funded self-report study “Crime in the Modern City,” which contain information about German students from (...)Viktimisierung im Jugendalter: Verbreitung, Verlauf und der Zusammenhang mit DelinquenzErdmann, A.
