abstract="This article investigated the effect of self-control on the link between individuals' prior and future victimization, using panel data across nine years from the Pittsburgh Youth Study. Results showed that for victims with high self-control, prior theft victimization was related to decreased risk of later theft victimization. However, self-control was not related to repeat violent victimization. Control variables related to opportunity structures and delinquent subcultures played a key role in influencing the effect of self-control on the relationship between prior and later victimization. Implications of the findings are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
