目前的研究扩展了以前的研究与成年人和男孩的女孩在少年司法系统（N = 122; M = 16.7; SD = 1.3）。使用纵向研究设计，邻里劣势和暴力暴露（即，父母的身体虐待、同伴的身体虐待和目睹暴力）。这些风险因素被用来预测释放后的暴力和犯罪行为。此外，种族特异性途径进行了检查，以确定这些风险因素的影响是否在黑人（n = 69）和白色女孩（n = 53）之间存在差异。结果表明，黑人女孩比白色女孩更有可能生活在弱势社区，但两者都报告了类似的暴力暴露水平和反社会行为的自我报告。父母的身体虐待、处于危险中的时间和年龄与暴力行为有关，而目睹暴力和处于危险中的时间与犯罪行为有关。多组分析表明存在种族特异性途径。具体而言，父母的身体虐待与白色女孩的暴力行为有关，而目睹暴力与黑人女孩的暴力和犯罪行为有关。结果表明，背景过程中发挥了重要作用，在预测黑人女孩的反社会行为。
The current study extended previous research with adults and boys to girls in the juvenile justice system (N = 122; M = 16.7; SD = 1.3). Using a longitudinal research design, neighborhood disadvantage and exposure to violence (i.e., physical abuse by parents, physical abuse by peers, and witnessing violence) were assessed during incarceration. These risk factors were used to predict violent and delinquent behavior post-release. Furthermore, race specific pathways were examined to determine if the impact of these risk factors varied among Black (n = 69) and White girls (n = 53). Results indicated that Black girls were more likely than White girls to live in disadvantaged neighborhoods, but both reported similar levels of exposure to violence and self-report of antisocial behavior. Physical abuse by parents, time at risk, and age were related to violent behavior, while witnessing violence and time at risk were related to delinquent behavior. Multiple group analyses indicated the existence of race specific pathways. Specifically, physical abuse by parents was related to violent behavior for White girls while witnessing violence was related to violent and delinquent behaviors for Black girls. Results suggest that contextual processes play an important role in predicting antisocial behavior for Black girls.
