Polyvictimization refers to multiple forms of victimization experienced by youths. The extent to which aggregated or cumulative early life victimization increases risk of victimization within juvenile correctional facilities is unclear. Furthermore, pathways from early polyvictimization to facility victimization may be partly explained by trauma symptomatology. Drawing upon the extant polyvictimization literature, this study explores both composite and cumulative effects of childhood victimization on later victimization within correctional facilities and the mediating role of trauma symptomatology among a nationally representative sample of incarcerated youth. Data were drawn from the Survey of Youth in Residential Placement. Incarcerated youths (N = 7,073) were surveyed on constructs including early victimization, trauma symptomatology, and experiences of victimization within correctional facilities. Using appropriate weights in analyses, structural equation models revealed the relationship between amassed early polyvictimization and composite facility victimization was partially explained by trauma symptoms; facility victimization also linked to trauma symptoms. Additional models revealed that as youths report more victimization experiences, there was a successive increased likelihood for trauma symptoms, facility robbery, and facility physical victimization. The relationships between cumulative early victimization and facility robbery, physical, and sexual victimization were partially or fully mediated by trauma symptoms. Research and practice implications are discussed.

儿童多暴力行为对少年教养所受害的影响

多受害是指青年经历的多种受害形式。目前尚不清楚累积或累积的早期生活受害程度在多大程度上增加了少年教养设施内受害的风险。此外，从早期的多器官损伤到设施受害的途径可能部分由创伤症状学解释。利用现有的多暴力受害者文献，本研究探讨了儿童受害者对矫正设施内以后受害者的综合和累积影响，以及在全国有代表性的被监禁青年样本中创伤症状学的介导作用。数据取自《青年居住场所调查》。对被监禁的青年（N = 7,073）进行了调查，调查对象包括早期受害，创伤症状，以及惩教设施内受害的经历。使用适当的权重进行分析，结构方程模型显示，聚集的早期多暴力和复合设施受害之间的关系部分由创伤症状解释；设施受害也与创伤症状有关。其他模型显示，随着青年报告更多的受害经历，创伤症状，设施抢劫和设施身体受害的可能性也随之增加。累积早期受害与设施抢劫，身体和性受害之间的关系部分或全部由创伤症状介导。讨论了研究和实践意义。结构方程模型表明，早期症状多发性受伤害与复合设施受害之间的关系部分由创伤症状解释。设施受害也与创伤症状有关。其他模型显示，随着青年报告更多的受害经历，创伤症状，设施抢劫和设施身体受害的可能性也随之增加。累积早期受害与设施抢劫，身体和性受害之间的关系部分或全部由创伤症状介导。讨论了研究和实践意义。结构方程模型表明，早期症状多发性受伤害与复合设施受害之间的关系部分由创伤症状解释。设施受害也与创伤症状有关。其他模型显示，随着青年报告更多的受害经历，创伤症状，设施抢劫和设施身体受害的可能性也随之增加。累积早期受害与设施抢劫，身体和性受害之间的关系部分或全部由创伤症状介导。讨论了研究和实践意义。其他模型显示，随着青年报告更多的受害经历，创伤症状，设施抢劫和设施身体受害的可能性也随之增加。累积早期受害与设施抢劫，身体和性受害之间的关系部分或全部由创伤症状介导。讨论了研究和实践意义。其他模型显示，随着青年报告更多的受害经历，创伤症状，设施抢劫和设施身体受害的可能性也随之增加。累积早期受害与设施抢劫，身体和性受害之间的关系部分或全部由创伤症状介导。讨论了研究和实践意义。
