Correlates and Consequences of Juvenile Exposure to Violence in the United States, 1995
Description
This study examined the effect of exposure to violence on
juveniles. It was specifically concerned with juveniles' perceptions
of violence in schools and communities and how exposure to violence
served as a risk factor for juvenile drug and alcohol use and
participation in other delinquent activities. It also sought to
develop a more complete picture of the context and consequences of
violence in schools. The data for this study were drawn from the
NATIONAL SURVEY OF ADOLESCENTS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1995 (ICPSR
2833). The data were collected through a national probability
telephone sample of 4,023 juveniles and their parents or guardians.
The current study drew primarily on the questions that were asked
about respondents' experiences witnessing violence, their own
victimization, peer and family deviance, their own delinquent
activities, and drug and alcohol use.
