摘要

This study examines the configuration and contextual correlates of the victim–offender overlap in adolescents. Using data from the International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD4), we compare this phenomenon across Mexico and Spain, two countries with markedly contrasting socio-legal and security environments, over two periods of reference: lifetime and last year. We apply Latent Class Analysis (LCA) to identify adolescent risk profiles, consistently finding two distinct latent classes across both nations and periods, namely, a low-risk profile and a victim–offender profile. Subsequent regression analyses reveal that emotional well-being is a consistent, universal predictor of membership in this profile, along with country-specific variables that exhibit differential effects. These findings highlight the need for culturally and contextually sensitive prevention programs to address the complex nature of this overlap in high- versus low-violence settings.
