To study if adult repeat victims of violence have different demographic and socioeconomic character from non-repeat victims of violence and the general population.
Case-control study comparing demographic and socioeconomic characteristics before first-time victimisation among repeat victims of violence to that of non-repeat victims and population-based controls. Repeat and non-repeat victims were included from an urban emergency department and an institute for forensic medicine. Data was analysed using logistic regression in unadjusted, semi-adjusted, and fully-adjusted models.
For almost all demographic and socioeconomic factors in our study, the strongest associations were found when repeat victims were compared to population-based controls, whereas associations obtained from comparison with non-repeat victims were less pronounced. Compared to non-repeat victims, factors most strongly associated with repeat victimisation were being a pensioner (OR 3.21), being unemployed (OR 2.11), high level of lifetime unemployment (OR 1.50), high level of household crowding (OR 1.49), and living without a partner (OR 1.30). Compared to population-based controls, factors most strongly associated with victimisation were being a pensioner (OR 6.83), being unemployed (OR 3.01), living without a partner (OR 3.15), high level of lifetime unemployment (OR 2.40), high levels of household crowding (OR 2.35), large age difference to partner (OR 1.82), and citizenship in a country outside Europe (OR 1.61).
The study indicates that repeat victims of violence may be a demographic and socioeconomic subgroup of adult victims of violence characterised by certain pronounced risk factors which are already present at the time of the first episode of violent victimisation.
研究成年暴力重复受害者与非重复暴力受害者和一般人群在人口统计学和社会经济学特征方面是否存在差异。
采用病例对照研究，比较暴力重复受害者与非重复受害者和基于人群的对照组首次受害前的人口统计学和社会经济学特征。重复和非重复受害者均来自城市急诊室和法医研究所。使用逻辑回归在未调整、半调整和完全调整模型中对数据进行分析。
在我们的研究中，几乎所有人口统计学和社会经济学因素中，重复受害者与基于人群的对照组相比，关联最强，而与非重复受害者相比，关联则不那么明显。与非重复受害者相比，与重复受害最强烈相关的因素是领取养老金（OR 3.21）、失业（OR 2.11）、终生失业水平高（OR 1.50）、家庭拥挤程度高（OR 1.49）和没有伴侣（OR 1.30）。与基于人群的对照组相比，与受害最强烈相关的因素是领取养老金（OR 6.83）、失业（OR 3.01）、没有伴侣（OR 3.15）、终生失业水平高（OR 2.40）、家庭拥挤程度高（OR 2.35）、与伴侣年龄差距大（OR 1.82）和公民身份在欧洲以外的国家（OR 1.61）。
该研究表明，暴力重复受害者可能是成年暴力受害者中的一个人口统计学和社会经济学亚组，其特点是某些明显的风险因素在首次遭受暴力侵害时就已经存在。
