Abstract
It is well known that homicide offenders and their victims have many characteristics in common (Broidy et al., 2003; Federal Bureau of Investigation, 2003; Snyder & Sickmund, 1999). Less clear is the extent to which predictors of homicide offenders are similar to the predictors of homicide victims. The reason is the scarcity of longitudinal studies which have information from diverse informants about the early antecedents of homicide victimization. Two major sets of questions are important here.
