Why are Children So Victimized?
Small, inexperienced, dependent, fewer conflict
resolution strategies
Weak protective norms and sanctions
Lack of choice over associates

Perils of Fragmentation
Underestimates true scope of victimization
Obscures interconnections
Fails to identify most victimized children
Unnecessary competition for scare resources
Reduces policy influence
Reinforces arbitrary distinctions
Ignores children’s own perspective
