ABSTRACT

In recent years, there has been a growing social, educational, and public policy focus on investigating the correlates associated with youth carrying weapons in their communities and schools. Victimization and other correlates such as drug use and violent risk behaviors among youth have been linked to deviant behavior including weapon carrying. What remains uncertain is how the intersection of sex and race/ethnicity moderate these potential risk factors linked with weapon carrying. Analyses, which draw from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBS) data, investigate whether or not sex and race/ethnicity play a role in the relationships between victimization, other risk factors, and weapon carrying (i.e., carrying a gun and bringing a weapon to school). In addition to discussing the findings of this study, this research underscores the importance of understanding the intersection of sex and race/ethnicity when examining youth violence, especially in regards to carrying weapons to school.

摘要

近年来，人们越来越关注社会，教育和公共政策，以调查与在其社区和学校携带武器的青年有关的相关因素。青年人的受害和其他相关因素，例如吸毒和暴力风险行为，已与包括武器携带在内的越轨行为联系在一起。尚不确定的是，性别和种族/民族的交集如何缓和与武器携带有关的这些潜在危险因素。根据2015年青少年风险行为监测系统（YRBS）的数据进行的分析，调查了性别和种族/民族在受害，其他风险因素与武器携带（例如，携带枪支和携带武器）之间的关系中是否起作用上学的武器）。除了讨论这项研究的结果之外，
