Abstract

Objectives

1. To assess the extent of the victim-offender overlap during early adulthood among people who use substances preceding substance use treatment (SUT) admission in Chile. 2. To analyse the within-individual temporal ordering of criminal victimisation and offending patterns across subgroups, referred to as ‘sequence profiles’. 3. To examine the characteristics of these sequence profiles.

Methods

Our study used a retrospective cohort design with linked nationwide administrative data, focusing on a cohort of 1965 individuals born in 1992, who received SUT and were observed from ages 18 to 27. We used multichannel sequence analysis to explore the temporal ordering of victimisation and offending.

Results

A considerable degree of victim-offender overlap exists among our cohort. We found no clear temporal ordering between criminal victimisation and offending in early adulthood. We identified five sequence profiles with different patterns of offending and victimisation in early adulthood. Social disadvantage indicators were more prevalent among the profile of high-rate offending and persistent victimisation.

Conclusion

During early adulthood, many people who use substances have ongoing involvement with the criminal justice system as both victims and offenders. The lack of evidence for temporal ordering of this involvement may be partly due to our reliance on criminal records.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest. Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
