abstract="Many children suffer multiple incidents of abuse, either involving the same or a different perpetrator. However, neither the literature on child abuse nor that on repeat victims of crime has addressed the question &quot;why are some abused or neglected children more vulnerable to further abuse than others?&quot; If this question can be answered, and we are able to identify those characteristics that put a child at further risk, Child Protection agencies will be better equipped to direct their resources to those children most in need. The advantages of a victimological approach to this problem are discussed and a new glossary of terms proposed to draw distinctions between different types of repeat victimization. It is suggested that this may provide an appropriate framework for subsequent research.<p />",
