Abstract
© 2015, © The Author(s) 2015. Victimization rates in home, school, and community were studied, among high school students aged 13–18, in three regions of Thailand: Bangkok (urban region), the West (rural region), and the South (Muslim region). The random sample consisted of 1305 high school students: 542 (41.5%) males and 763 (58.5%) females. Results indicated that the southern provinces had the highest victimization rates in all the studied categories. Males were victimized more than females. The reasons behind these results are being dealt with in light of the political and cultural characteristics of Thailand. Recommendations to ease the victimization rates of youth in Thailand are suggested.
