Traditionally, violent and delinquent behaviors have been addressed by the criminal justice system, with the focus being secondary and tertiary interventions. During the last decade, the focus on violence as a public health issue has increased. The purpose of this research was to examine how individual protective factors for adolescent delinquency varied according to neighborhood quality. The researcher conducted a secondary data analysis, using data from the National Youth Survey A total of 1,621 adolescents comprised the sample. The majority of the respondents participated in some type of delinquent behavior, with more Blacks reporting participation in violent behaviors. There was a positive relationship between academic history and no participation in delinquent behavior. The regression model for violent delinquency accounted for 10% of the variance in the disordered neighborhoods. Primary prevention efforts, commonly used by public health nurses, should be aimed at eliminating risk factors such as those found in disordered neighborhoods.
传统上，暴力和犯罪行为一直由刑事司法系统处理，重点是二级和三级干预。在过去十年中，将暴力视为公共卫生问题的关注度有所提高。本研究的目的是探讨青少年犯罪的个体保护因素如何因社区质量而异。研究人员进行了二次数据分析，使用了来自全国青年调查的数据。样本共有1621名青少年。大多数受访者参与了某种类型的犯罪行为，更多黑人报告参与了暴力行为。学术历史与不参与犯罪行为之间存在正相关关系。暴力犯罪的回归模型解释了无序社区中该疾病10%的方差。公共卫生护士常用的一级预防措施应旨在消除诸如在无序社区中发现的那些风险因素。
