Abstract This study addressed and characterized direct and indirect criminal victimization among college students and examined the associations between victimization and other variables. The participants were 775 students of both genders with a mean age of 21.76 years. Data were collected through self-reports using the “Diagnosis of Local Security Questionnaire”. Overall, 8.6% of the students reported direct victimization, and 39.7% reported indirect victimization. The most reported crimes were robbery and theft, while the least prevalent were sexual offense, domestic violence, and fraud. Most incidents involved a stranger and occurred at night in the street. Direct victimization was associated with gender, age, marital status, student level, attendance status, and institution domain. There were significant associations between indirect victimization and nationality, student type, attendance status, and institution domain. The perception of (in)security was significantly associated with victimization. Therefore, physical and social measures are necessary to reduce crime and increase security.

高等教育学生的校园犯罪受害：波尔图地方安全的诊断

摘要 本研究针对大学生中的直接和间接犯罪受害情况进行了处理和表征，并检验了受害情况与其他变量之间的关联。参与者是 775 名男女学生，平均年龄为 21.76 岁。数据是通过使用“本地安全问卷诊断”的自我报告收集的。总体而言，8.6% 的学生报告直接受害，39.7% 报告间接受害。报告最多的犯罪是抢劫和盗窃，而最不普遍的是性犯罪、家庭暴力和欺诈。大多数事件都涉及陌生人，并且发生在晚上的街道上。直接受害与性别、年龄、婚姻状况、学生水平、出勤状况和机构领域有关。间接受害与国籍、学生类型、出勤状况和机构领域之间存在显着关联。（不）安全感与受害显着相关。因此，必须采取物理和社会措施来减少犯罪和提高安全性。
