Partner Violence and Street Violence among Urban Adolescents: Do the Same Family Factors Relate?

Gorman-Smith, Deborah; Tolan, Patrick H.; Sheidow, Ashli J.; Henry, David B.

Journal of Research on Adolescence, v11 n3 p273-95 2001

Studied how participation in street violence as part of criminal/delinquent behavior relates to violence within dating or marital relationships. Found that subjects were more likely to report use of violence in relationships if they were also participating in violence as part of other criminal behavior. However, half the 141 subjects had not participated in either type of violence. (Author/SD)
