This longitudinal investigation examined interactions between aggression and peer victimization during middle childhood in the prediction of arrest through the adult years for 388 (198 boys, 190 girls) study participants. As part of an ongoing multisite study (i.e., Child Development Project), peer victimization and aggression were assessed via a peer nomination inventory in middle childhood, and juvenile and adult arrest histories were assessed via a self-report questionnaire as well as review of court records. Early aggression was linked to later arrest but only for those youths who were rarely victimized by peers. Although past investigators have viewed youths who are both aggressive and victimized as a high-risk subgroup, our findings suggest that the psychological and behavioral attributes of these children may mitigate trajectories toward antisocial problems.
本纵向研究考察了 388 名（198 名男孩，190 名女孩）研究参与者在整个儿童期内的攻击行为和同伴侵害之间的相互作用，以及它们对成年后被捕的预测。作为一项正在进行的多地点研究（即儿童发展项目）的一部分，通过同伴提名清单评估了儿童期的同伴侵害和攻击行为，通过自我报告问卷以及对法庭记录的审查评估了青少年和成年后的逮捕记录。早期的攻击行为与后来的被捕有关，但仅限于那些很少受到同伴侵害的青少年。尽管过去的研究人员认为既具有攻击性又受到侵害的青少年是高风险亚组，但我们的研究结果表明，这些儿童的心理和行为特征可能会减轻他们走向反社会问题的轨迹。
