The goal of the study was to conduct a survey on the extent and nature of poly-victimization of
adolescents in Heideveld. This researcher used a quantitative approach, administering an altered
form of the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire to achieve the goal. This questionnaire had 34
screener items exploring victimization events across a broad range of possible victimization
types. Convenience sampling of grade 8-10 learners was used from a school in Heideveld.
Ninety-one respondents completed the questionnaire, the age range spread from 13 – 18 years of
age. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the results. Responses of respondents to
victimization (directed either at themselves or a peer) were explored through open-ended
questions. Content analysis was performed to describe the data collected. The results showed
that the extent of poly-victimization of adolescents in Heideveld is high. The findings were
explored and finally conclusions and recommendations were discussed. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Play Therapy)
