Interpersonal Violence in Adolescence: Ecological Correlates of Self-Reported Perpetration
Banyard, Victoria L.; Cross, Charlotte; Modecki, Kathryn L.
Journal of Interpersonal Violence, v21 n10 p1314-1332 2006
Although growing attention is being paid to the problem of teen dating violence, to date less is known about perpetrators of victimization. The current article used a subset of 980 adolescents aged 11 to 19 who were surveyed as part of a statewide community service coordinated through Cooperative Extension to survey all youth in target communities about risky health behaviors. The current article examined correlates of perpetration of either physical dating violence or sexual abuse across all levels of the ecological model (individual, family, and community factors). At the bivariate level, individual factors including substance use and low social responsibility, family factors including divorce, low parental monitoring, and low social support, and community variables such as low school attachment and neighborhood monitoring were associated with self-reported perpetration. At the multivariate level, gender and history of victimization were most significant in explaining variance in perpetration. (Contains 3 tables.)
