目的本研究建立在先前研究的基础上，通过考察农村样本中携带手枪的轨迹与各种类型暴力行为之间的关系，揭示了持枪与城市青少年犯罪行为之间的密切关系。方法本研究使用了2002年美国公立学校学生的纵向队列研究数据，这些学生来自美国7个州12个农村社区的12个社区(2005-2019年)。结果与青春期和青春期持枪概率极低的青少年相比，青春期或青壮年持枪概率高的青少年在青春期或成年期使用手枪的可能性较大(优势比为1.9~11.2)，青春期和成年期使用身体暴力的几率较高(OR值为1.5~15.9)和青春期使用身体暴力的几率(OR值为1.9~4.7)。这些携带手枪概率较高的轨迹也与经历父母身体虐待和亲密伴侣暴力等身体暴力的几率较高有关，但与欺凌无关。结论和暗示在农村地区成长的青少年中，经历和使用欺凌和身体暴力与特定的持枪模式有关。携带手枪可能是这些年轻人中暴力预防计划的一个重要重点。
ObjectivesThis study builds on prior research showing a strong relationship between handgun carrying and delinquent behaviors among urban youth by examining the association between handgun carrying trajectories and various types of violence in a rural sample.MethodsThis study uses data from a longitudinal cohort study of 2002 public school students in the United States from 12 rural communities across 7 states from ages 12–26 (2005–2019). We used logistic regressions to assess associations of various bullying and physical violence behaviors with latent trajectories of handgun carrying from adolescence through young adulthood.ResultsCompared to youth with very low probabilities of carrying a handgun in adolescence and young adulthood, trajectories with high probabilities of handgun carrying during adolescence or young adulthood were associated with greater odds of using bullying (odds ratios (ORs) ranging from 1.9 to 11.2) and higher odds of using physical violence during adolescence (ORs ranging from 1.5 to 15.9) and young adulthood (ORs ranging from 1.9 to 4.7). These trajectories with higher probabilities of handgun carrying were also associated with greater odds of experiencing physical violence like parental physical abuse and intimate partner violence, but not bullying.Conclusion and implicationExperiencing and using bullying and physical violence were associated with specific patterns of handgun carrying among youth growing up in rural areas. Handgun carrying could be an important focus of violence prevention programs among those youth.
