This article reports the prevalence of violence and co-victimization among African-American youth in Chicago. Results of a violence screening survey were compiled on 1035 school children, aged 10 to 19 years. Police crime statistics are compared to illustrate the magnitude of the problem of youth and violence. Results indicate that 75% of the participating boys and 10% of participating girls had witnessed the shooting, stabbing, robbing, or killing of another person in their own lives. The survey itself did not identify the effects of co-victimization on the participants. Previous research is incorporated in the development of tentative hypotheses for intervention in public schools.
本文报道了芝加哥非裔美国青少年中的暴力行为和共同受害情况。对1035名年龄在10至19岁的在校儿童进行了暴力筛查调查，并汇总了调查结果。通过与警方犯罪统计数据进行比较，以说明青少年暴力问题的严重程度。结果表明，75%的参与调查的男孩和10%的参与调查的女孩在自己的生活中目睹过他人被枪击、刺伤、抢劫或杀害。该调查本身并未确定共同受害对参与者的影响。在为公立学校制定初步干预假设时纳入了先前的研究。
