Résumé
L’objectif était de tester l’hypothèse selon laquelle une exposition générale à la victimisation, ou victimisation multiple, expliquerait une conclusion de recherche fréquente : la victimisation sexuelle accroît le risque de victimisation sexuelle ultérieure. L’étude utilise les données de deux phases de la National Survey of Children’s Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV), menées en 2008 et en 2010. La NatSCEV est une enquête téléphonique auprès d’un échantillon représentatif d’enfants des États-Unis dont les ménages ont été sélectionnés par une composition aléatoire des numéros de téléphone. La présente analyse porte sur les 1186 enfants qui ont participé aux deux phases et qui étaient âgés de 10 à 17 ans lors de la Phase 1. Le nombre total de victimisations à la Phase 1 constituait la meilleure variable prédictive de la victimisation sexuelle à la Phase 2. À la Phase 1, la victimisation sexuelle n’apportait aucune contribution indépendante lorsque d’autres victimisations non sexuelles étaient incluses dans la prédiction. Les recherches futures sur la prédiction de la victimisation sexuelle et sur la récidive de la victimisation sexuelle devront également inclure et contrôler un large éventail d’autres victimisations non sexuelles.

Abstract
The goal of this study is to test the proposition that a generalized exposure to victimization, or poly-victimization, was behind the frequent finding that sexual victimization creates an increased risk for future sexual victimization. This study involves 2 waves of the National Survey of Children’s Exposure to Violence conducted in 2008 and 2010, a telephone interview study that began with a representative sample of US children whose households were selected through random digit dial. The current analysis focuses on the 1,186 children who participated in both waves and who were aged 10 to 17 in Wave 1. The total number of Wave 1 victimizations was the best predictor of Wave 2 sexual victimization, with Wave 1 sexual victimization making no independent contribution when other non-sexual victimizations were also assessed as part of the prediction. Future research on predicting sexual victimization and on the repetition of sexual victimization needs to assess and control for a wide range of other non-sexual victimizations as well.

Resumen
El objetivo era de testear la hipótesis según la cual una exposición general a la victimización, o victimización múltiple explicaría una conclusión frecuente : la victimización sexual crea un aumento del riesgo de una victimización sexual ulterior. El estudio se compone de dos fases de la National Survey of Children’s Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV), llevados a cabo en 2008 y en 2010. Se trataba de una investigación realizada mediante una entrevista telefónica. Utilizaba una muestra representativa de niños de los Estados Unidos cuyos hogares habían sido seleccionados por una encuesta cuya composición era aleatoria (CA). El presente análisis trata sobre los 1.186 niños que participaron de las dos fases y que tenían entre 10 y 17 años en la fase 1. El número total de victimizaciones en la fase 1 constituía la mejor variable predictiva de victimización sexual en la fase 2. En la fase 1, la victimización sexual no aportaba ninguna contribución independiente cuando otras victimizaciones no sexuales eran evaluadas en el marco de la predicción. La investigación futura sobre la predicción de la victimización sexual y sobre la reincidencia de ésta, deberá evaluar y controlar, igualmente, un gran abanico de otras victimizaciones no sexuales.
