The growing public health and legal concerns regarding gun violence has led to a call for research that investigates risk factors for gun violence across a variety of domains. Individual and sociocontextual risk factors have been associated with violence more broadly, and in some instances gun-carrying, however no prior research has investigated the role of these factors in explaining gun violence using longitudinal data. The current study utilized a subsample (N = 161) from the Pathways to Desistance Study, which is a longitudinal sample of serious adolescent offenders to evaluate interindividual and intraindividual differences in relevant risk factors of gun violence. Results suggest that there are a few key proximal individual-level and sociocontextual predictors for gun violence, including witnessing nongun violence, future orientation, and perceived personal rewards to crime. Findings demonstrate the salience of exposure to violence in contributing to gun violence and identify levers of action for public policy.

参与犯罪的青少年男性枪支暴力的近端预测因素。

对枪支暴力日益增长的公共卫生和法律问题引发了对跨领域枪支暴力风险因素的调查研究的呼吁。个人和社会背景风险因素与更广泛的暴力相关，在某些情况下与携带枪支有关，但之前没有研究调查这些因素在使用纵向数据解释枪支暴力中的作用。目前的研究利用了戒断途径研究中的一个子样本（N = 161），该子样本是严重青少年犯罪者的纵向样本，用于评估枪支暴力相关风险因素的个体间和个体内差异。结果表明，枪支暴力有几个关键的近端个人层面和社会背景预测因素，包括目睹非枪支暴力、未来取向、和感知到的个人对犯罪的奖励。调查结果表明，暴力暴露在助长枪支暴力方面的显着性，并确定了公共政策的行动杠杆。（PsycINFO 数据库记录 (c) 2019 APA，保留所有权利）。
