Abstract: The present study speculates that histories of multiple victimization during childhood and adolescence are more prevalent among low-income adult immigrants than among low-income adult nonimmigrants. Method- a total sample of 53 individuals (N=53) completed the JVQ-Adult Retrospective Victimization. Results- a t test showed no significant differences between the immigrant group (M=3.34) and the non-immigrant group (M=3.00), (t(51)=.310, df=51, p=.758), and results from a Mann-Whitney U either (U=186.500, Z=-.276, p=.783). Conclusion- no significant differences were found between immigrants and non-immigrants. Nevertheless, it raises concerns about other studies from public and private organizations revealing high rates of inter-partner violence and child maltreatment among the immigrant population in Spain.
