- Abstract
In order to reach a global vision of the research carried out in Spain about child victimization, we have conducted a systematic review of publications providing rates of victimization from the adolescents own self-reports. We searched the electronic databases Medline, PsycINFO, SciELO, Scopus and Latindex using terminology related to childhood, victimization and the geographical origin of the study sample. We selected 61 articles, published between 1994 and 2010, in different national journals and assessing, most of them, peer victimization experiences. Spanish studies are focused, mainly, in one specific form of victimization affecting children. Different instruments to obtain the data are used, not being adapted to our social and cultural context. This makes difficult to determine the incidence of other types of violence in Spanish children and to conduct comparisons with other international studies.
