Abstract

Research increasingly explores more complex relations of low self-control and context factors, such as structural constraints that limit behavioral lifestyle options, with violent victimization. The authors extend extant research by examining indirect effects of low self-control and family deviance on violent victimization via deviant lifestyles. The hypothesized full indirect effects model is tested for 233 African American and Hispanic 11th-grade students using latent variable analysis.

RESULTS offer strong support for the full indirect effects hypothesis.

RESULTS generally support the utility of an integrative framework that includes structural constraints arising from the family setting.
