This research combines two theories to understand violent victimization among children and adolescents, exploring independent and interactive influences that neighborhood disadvantage and low self-control have on the risk of violent victimization.
Abstract
Guided by both social disorganization and self-control theories, this study is an effort to empirically illustrate the independent and interactive influences of neighborhood context and one measure of antisocial propensity, e.g., low self-control, on violent victimization.
