Members of the sample were exposed to high levels of criminal victimization. Sub-groups who were particulary vulnerable to crime were women (and especially sex workers), the homeless, recent offenders and those with a history of poor mental health. Multivariate analysis indicated that frequent drug use, recent offending and historiesof depression and anxiety were significantly predictive of violent victimization, and only gender and a history of anxiety were significantly predictive of property victimization. The article discusses how these findings relate to theorical approches to victimization, in both positivist and critical frameworks.
