Resumen

This study aimed to identify the magnitude of child victimization and polyvictimization in incarcerated individuals in northern Chile. A sample of 229 adults deprived of liberty in northern Chile was recruited. The results showed that incarcerated individuals presented significant percentages of child abuse and sexual victimization experiences (58.6% and 58.4%, respectively). In the analysis by sex, males suffer more frequently victimization by common crimes and peer victimization in their childhood. Sexual victimization was reported more frequently in females. The results reflect the high rates of child victimization and polyvictimization among the incarcerated population in northern Chile. The results can be useful in developing public policy for incarcerated individuals sensitive to their childhood victimization experiences and their mental health.
