| Abstract |
An increasing number of studies have focused on fraud victimization. However, fewer studies have specifically focused on financial fraud, a unique form of fraud that relies on victim participation. Using the Supplemental Fraud Survey (SFS), the prevalence and differences between single and repeat/poly-victims of financial fraud were examined utilizing state dependence and risk heterogeneity variables to identify potential differences. Overall, some support for state dependence was found, while less support was found for risk heterogeneity. Reporting the victimization to a family member and having a higher income reduced the risk of becoming a repeat/poly-victim, while identifying as a victim and having a higher total monetary loss were associated with increased risk. Implications for policy, theory, and prevention are discussed. |
