Objectives Investigate the relevance of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)-linked strain sensitivity associated with exposure to violence for predicting violence outcomes among juvenile offenders during adolescence and early adulthood. Methods This study uses the Pathways to Desistance data and to test relevant relationships. Two series of negative binomial regression models were estimated to test hypotheses, one corresponding to each period of the life course. Results Results indicated that witnessed violence interacted with PTSD status in adolescence, indicating that individuals afflicted with PTSD demonstrated heightened sensitivity to this strain, manifested in increased violent offending. Conclusions Results indicate that witnessed violence may act as a trigger during adolescence, resulting in juvenile offenders with PTSD responding with violence. This may have treatment implications for individuals suffering from PTSD.

创伤后应激障碍相关的应变敏感性的影响对暴力犯罪：在青春期与成年早期的效果差异。

目的调查与创伤暴露相关的与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）相关的应变敏感性与预测青少年罪犯在青少年和成年初期的暴力后果之间的相关性。方法：本研究使用通路数据来检验相关关系。估计了两个系列的负二项式回归模型以检验假设，每个模型对应于生命周期的每个时期。结果结果表明，目击者的暴力行为与青春期的PTSD状况有关，表明受PTSD困扰的人对这种菌株表现出更高的敏感性，表现为暴力犯罪增加。结论结果表明，目击者的暴力行为可能是青春期的诱因，导致创伤后应激障碍的少年犯以暴力回应。这可能对患有PTSD的个体具有治疗意义。
