Clustering of Adolescent Dating Violence, Peer Violence, and Suicidal Behavior
Bossarte, Robert M.; Simon, Thomas R.; Swahn, Monica H.
Journal of Interpersonal Violence, v23 n6 p815-833 2008
To understand the co-occurrence of multiple types of violence, the authors developed a behavioral typology based on self-reports of suicidal behaviors, physical violence, and psychological abuse. Using a sample of dating adolescents from a high-risk school district, they identified five clusters of behaviors among the 1,653 students who reported being abusive or violent in the past year. Victimization and perpetration with same-sex peers and dating partners clustered together among the students who reported the highest levels of abusive (n = 357) or violent behavior (n = 146). These students also reported high levels of suicidal behavior. There were few significant demographic differences across clusters. The implications of the results for the need to design and evaluate efforts to prevent multiple types of violence are discussed. (Contains 4 tables and 1 note.)
