基于受害调查的两个随机样本的学生谁住在校园里可比的大学在美国和英国，我们研究了校园内的学生受害的程度和性质和学生的校园内经历暴力，盗窃和入室盗窃的风险在一个学年。生活在英国校园的学生的校园受害率总体上明显高于生活在美国校园的学生。在生活方式-日常活动理论的指导下，我们从多变量logit模型预测成为校园暴力、盗窃和入室盗窃受害者的可能性的比较结果表明，哪些变量显著预测每个国家的受害概率，差异大于相似性。
Based on victimization surveys of two random samples of students who live on campus at comparable universities in the United States and England, we examined the extent and nature of on-campus student victimization and students' on-campus risk of experiencing violence, theft, and burglary during an academic year. On-campus victimization rates for students who live on English campuses are overall significantly higher than those who live on US campuses. Guided by lifestyle-routine activity theories, our comparative results from multivariate logit models predicting the likelihood of being an on-campus victim of violence, theft, and burglary reveal that there are more differences than similarities as to which variables significantly predict the probability of being victimized in each country respectively.
