虐待儿童构成青少年犯罪的重大风险。尽管已经提出了生态模型来解释这种关系，但大多数研究都集中在个体风险因素上。使用来自 23 所学校的 1, 788 名学生的前瞻性数据来检验儿童虐待、个人层面的风险因素以及 9 年级开始时评估的学校层面的变量对 4 至 6 个月后的犯罪行为的附加影响。个人层面的结果表明，男性、童年时期遭受虐待以及父母养育不当是暴力犯罪的预测因素。学校氛围也发挥了重要作用：考虑到相同的个人风险状况，就读于被学生认为安全的学校的学生比就读于被认为不安全的学校的学生参与暴力犯罪的可能性更小。此外，学校参与全面的暴力预防计划，在一定程度上减轻了儿童虐待对暴力犯罪风险的影响。
Child maltreatment constitutes significant risk for adolescent delinquency. Although an ecological model has been proposed to explain this relationship, most studies focus on individual risk factors. Prospective data from 1, 788 students attending 23 schools were used to examine the additive influence of childhood maltreatment, individual-level risk factors, and school-level variables assessed at the beginning of Grade 9 on delinquency 4 to 6 months later. Individual-level results indicated that being male, experiencing childhood maltreatment, and poor parental nurturing were predictors of violent delinquency. School climate also played a significant role: Given the same individual risk Profile, a student attending a school that was perceived by students as safe was less likely to engage in violent delinquency than was a student attending a school perceived to be unsafe. Moreover, the impact of childhood maltreatment on risk for engaging in violent delinquency was somewhat mitigated by schools' participation in a comprehensive violence Prevention program.
