Résumé
Cette étude documente différentes formes de victimisation vécues par les jeunes Québécois au cours de leur vie. Le Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ – questionnaire de victimisation juvénile) a été employé lors d’une enquête téléphonique aléatoire parmi les ménages québécois. L’échantillon comprend 1 400 adolescents âgés de 12 à 17 ans et 1 401 parents d’enfants de 2 à 11 ans ayant révélé les expériences de victimisation des jeunes. Les résultats démontrent que la majorité des jeunes (75 %) ont vécu au moins une forme de victimisation directe ou indirecte au cours de leur vie. Parmi les victimes, la majorité (71 %) ont vécu plus d’une forme de victimisation et plus d’un quart des jeunes de l’échantillon (27 %) ont subi au moins quatre types de victimisation distincts au cours de leur vie. Afin d’intervenir adéquatement auprès des jeunes victimisés de manière chronique et de répondre à leurs besoins multiples, les intervenants oeuvrant auprès des jeunes devraient s’enquérir de leur exposition possible à de multiples formes de victimisation. Il est essentiel de documenter l’évolution de la victimisation et de la polyvictimisation chez les jeunes de manière systématique afin de suivre l’évolution des tendances et l’impact des politiques publiques et des programmes d’intervention visant à lutter contre ce phénomène.

Abstract
This study documents the victimization experiences of children and youths from the province of Quebec during their lifetime. Using a list-assisted random digit dial (RDD) telephone survey design of households in Quebec, interviews were with 1400 adolescents aged 12 to 17 years and 1401caregivers of children aged 2 to 11 years. Victimization was measured using the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ). The vast majority (75 %) of young people were the target of direct or indirect victimizations during their lifetime, with the majority of these victims (71 %) being the target of more than one form of victimization. More than a quarter of the sample (27 %) experienced at least four forms of victimization in their lifetime. The findings suggest that practitioners should inquire about a wide range of victimization experiences in order to address the specific service needs of children chronically victimized. Systematic data that reveals the trends in child victimization, including self-reported data, is also important for policy makers so that they can develop effective intervention and prevention programs.

Resumen
Este estudio documenta las diferentes formas de victimización vividas por los jóvenes de Québec en el transcurso de sus vidas. El cuestionario de victimización juvenil (JVQ) ha sido empleado en una encuesta telefónica aleatoria entre los hogares quebequenses. La muestra incluye 1.400 adolescentes de edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 17 años, y 1.401 padres de niños de 2 a 11 años que han revelado experiencias de victimización de los jóvenes. Los resultados demuestran que la mayoría de los jóvenes (75 %) han experimentado al menos una forma de victimización, directa o indirecta, en el transcurso de sus vidas. Entre la víctimas, la mayoría (71 %) han sufrido más de una forma de victimización, y más de un cuarto de los jóvenes de la muestra (27 %) han sufrido al menos cuatro tipos de victimizaciones diferentes durante el transcurso de sus vidas. Con el fin de intervenir adecuadamente con los jóvenes victimizados de manera crónica y de responder a sus múltiples necesidades, los actores que trabajan con los jóvenes deberían preguntarse sobre la exposición de éstos últimos a múltiples formas de victimización. Es esencial documentar sistemáticamente la evolución de la victimización y de la poli-victimización de los jóvenes con el fin de seguir la evolución de las tendencias, del impacto de las políticas públicas y de los programas de intervención que aspiran a luchar contra dicho fenómeno.
