      ab: The writers present 20 recommendations to improve the study and treatment of juvenile victimization through instruments that are comprehensive, methodologically sound, and relevant to settings such a health and mental health clinics, criminal justice institutions, and child protection agencies. They propose, among other things, that instruments should allow victimization to be mapped into conventional crime and child protection system categories; adequately assess victimization by family and nonstranger perpetrators; ask about childhood-specific crimes; allow for juvenile and adult victimization comparisons; collect self-report data from 7-year-old children; use simple, behaviorally specific language; protect privacy during data collection; attend to potential ethnic, class, and gender differences; and prepare procedures to assist children in danger.
