In this book, the author presents a comprehensive vision of the prevention, treatment, and study of juvenile victims, unifying conventional subdivisions like child molestation, child abuse, bullying, and exposure to community violence. Developmental victimology, his term for this integrated perspective, looks at child victimization across childhood's span and yields fascinating insights about how to categorize juvenile victimizations, how to think about risk and impact, and how victimization patterns change over the course of development. The book also provides a new model of society's response to child victimization - what Finkelhor calls the Juvenile Victim Justice System - and a new perspective on barriers that victims and their families encounter when seeking help.

This report presents the findings of the Safe Start National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence. The survey, sponsored by OJJDP with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is the first to measure children's exposure to violence in homes, schools, and communities across all age groups. It found that more than 60 percent of the children surveyed were exposed to violence, directly or indirectly, within the past year.

The authors of this report discuss six plausible explanations for the decline in sexual abuse cases: (1) increasing conservatism within child protective service; (2) exclusion of cases that do not involve caretakers; (3) changes in CPS data collection methods; (4) less reporting to CPS; (5) a diminishing reservoir of older cases; and (6) a real decline in the incidence of sexual abuse.

In this issue, the author uses data extracted from the National Crime Victimization Survey to explore trends in violent victimization among youth, ages 12-17. Results reveal that youth who live in single-parent homes are at significantly higher risk for violence than their counterparts who live in two-parent homes, and have three times the risk for violent victimization than the average American.

In this study, the authors assess trends in children's exposure to abuse, violence, and crime victimizations based on a comparison of 2 cross-sectional national telephone surveys conducted in 2003 and 2008. Declines occurred in psychological and emotional abuse by caregivers, exposure to community violence, and theft. Physical abuse by caregivers was unchanged.
