DESCRIPTION:That offenders experience victimization at disproportionate le
 vels to those who are not involved in offending is one of the consistent f
 acts in criminology. Yet it is arguably one of the most understudied and n
 eglected phenomena\, both by researchers and by policy makers. Using data 
 from police records of victimization from low-level offenders participatin
 g in the Turning Point Project based in Birmingham (United Kingdom)\, illu
 strate both how extensive and the prevalent types of victimization reporte
 d by these offenders. The results of this research suggest that violent vi
 ctimization is a particular issue for these low-level offenders\, and for 
 some their experiences of victimization were complex and substantial in nu
 mber. This has significant impacts when considering potential policies or 
 when designing interventions for low-level offenders.
