While a large body of literature examines how & why some individuals experience more than one victimization, this is the first comprehensive review of research on each of these categories

A Review of Personal Recurrent Victimization This Open Access brief summarizes the literature on personal recurrent victimization—broadly defined as experiencing more than one victimization.

Importantly, we advocate for the practical expansion or alteration of visitation policies to ensure the greatest number of visits during a prison stay. Social support systems are crucial across many contexts.

We find that high-rate visits in the year before release is associated with lower odds of major/minor parole violations in the year after release, but has a lukewarm relationship with misconduct preceding release. We argue that a possible threshold effect is present that requires further attention.
