This book provides an overview of the core research and theory on
polyvictimization - exposure to multiple types of victimization
that may have negative and potentially lifelong biopsychosocial
impacts. The contributors to the volume address such topics as
measurement issues in how polyvictimization should be assessed and
measured; developmental risks of early childhood polyvictimization
for maltreated children in foster care; gender differences in
polyvictimization and its consequences among juvenile
justice-involved youth; the importance of trauma-focused treatment
for polyvictimized youth in the juvenile justice system; and the
nature of polyvictimization in the internet era. Suited to readers
who are new to the topic including graduate and undergraduate
students, as well as researchers and clinicians who want a concise
update on the latest empirical research from the frontiers of this
field, this book provides findings and methodological innovations
of interest to researchers and human service professionals. This
book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of
Trauma & Dissociation.
