abstract="Utilizing a sample of 400 homeless street youth, this article examines Agnew's recent extension to General Strain Theory and the identification of a composite moderator. Using an amalgamated moderator composed of low self-control, violent peers, and street code adherence, the study investigates how this combination increases the likelihood that individuals will respond to strain with violence. <br><br>FINDINGS indicate that four forms of child abuse and neglect, vicarious violent victimization, homelessness, and anger are all more likely to lead to violent offending when conditioned by the moderator. <br><br>FINDINGS are discussed and suggestions for future research are offered.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
