ABSTRACT
Some people are repeatedly victimised and a rather small proportion of victims account for a large proportion of all victimisations. In fact, according to the British Crime Survey, about 4% of people experience about 40% of all victimisations (see the table). Repeat victimisation has been found in domestic violence, burglary, racial attacks and sexual assault, to name but a few examples. Like risky facilities and repeat offending, repeat victimisation is a variation on the 80-20 rule (Step 19).
