Abstract
Criminological research has consistently found that crime clusters in both space and time. A subset of this research has investigated repeat victimization (same victim re-victimized within a short period of time) and near-repeat victimization (places near the original victimization are at risk of victimization within a short period of time). Generally speaking, this research has found that repeat victimization occurs within a short time frame and near-repeat victimization occurs within a short distance and a short time frame. We contribute to this literature through an investigation of repeat and near-repeat victimization in a large Brazilian city. Studying five crime types we find strong support for repeat and near-repeat victimization, but the magnitude varies by crime type.
