Using a cohort of 310 low-income male adolescents living in an urban community and followed prospectively from 18 months through adolescence (ages 15-18 years), the current study examined whether individual, family, and community risk factors from ages 18 to 42 months were associated with adolescents' violent behavior, as indexed by juvenile petitions. Results of multivariate analyses indicated that although family income was the only factor to discriminate those with no arrest record from those with nonviolent arrests, rejecting parenting, child oppositional behavior, emotion regulation, and minority status during the toddler period contributed unique variance in distinguishing male adolescents arrested for violent behavior compared to those never arrested and those arrested for nonviolent behavior. Implications for prevention efforts are discussed.
本研究以310名居住在城市社区的低收入男性青少年为队列，对他们从18个月到青春期（15 - 18岁）进行前瞻性追踪，考察了18至42个月时的个体、家庭和社区风险因素是否与青少年的暴力行为（以少年起诉书为指标）相关。多变量分析结果表明，虽然家庭收入是区分无逮捕记录者和非暴力逮捕者的唯一因素，但在幼儿期拒绝养育、儿童对立行为、情绪调节和少数族裔身份在区分因暴力行为被捕的男性青少年与从未被捕者及因非暴力行为被捕者方面有独特的差异。文中还讨论了预防措施的意义。
