%X Using data collected in 2007 from a national sample of nearly 3,500 students this study explores the utility of a more integrated approach to understanding student avoidance behavior. More specifically, the interactive influences of school disorder/incivilities and previous experiences with school-based victimization are assessed in estimating student avoidance behavior, via school fear. <br><br>RESULTS show that several of these interactions were significant in estimating student avoidance behavior. Such findings imply promise for an integrated, interactional approach to theoretical understanding of student fear-related avoidance. <br><br>KEYWORDS: Juvenile justice; Juvenile delinquency; Bullying; Gangs; Adolescence; Weapons; Schools;<p />
