Many studies have examined significant factors associated with school delinquency among adolescents, including relationship violence, property damage, and other serious threats to students’ safety. However, students’ coping behaviors after being victims of or witnesses to violence and other forms of delinquency have not been thoroughly examined. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by identifying significant factors at the individual, family, and school levels that affect 226 Caribbean students’ actual reporting of school delinquency to school personnel. The data for this study were obtained from the Caribbean Youth Violence Survey, which studied middle and high school students in five Caribbean countries. The findings of hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that female students were more likely than male students to report delinquent behaviors. Family cohesion and family disorganization significantly decreased students’ reporting behaviors after they experienced or witnessed school delinquency. On the other hand, school bonding significantly increased students’ reporting behaviors. This paper concludes with practical implications and future research agendas for developing a comprehensive mechanism to address the dynamics of multidimensional factors that influence students’ active coping behaviors for dealing with school delinquency.

生态相关性有助于报告加勒比青少年的学校犯罪

许多研究调查了与青少年学校犯罪相关的重要因素，包括关系暴力、财产损失和其他对学生安全的严重威胁。然而，学生在成为暴力和其他形式犯罪的受害者或目击者后的应对行为尚未得到彻底检查。本研究通过确定影响 226 名加勒比学生向学校工作人员实际报告学校拖欠行为的个人、家庭和学校层面的重要因素，为现有知识体系做出贡献。这项研究的数据来自加勒比青年暴力调查，该调查研究了五个加勒比国家的中学生和高中生。分层多元回归分析的结果表明，女学生比男学生更有可能报告违法行为。家庭凝聚力和家庭解体显着降低了学生在经历或目睹学校犯罪后的报告行为。另一方面，学校凝聚力显着增加了学生的报告行为。本文总结了实际意义和未来研究议程，以开发一种综合机制来解决影响学生积极应对学校犯罪行为的多维因素的动态。学校联系显着增加了学生的报告行为。本文总结了实际意义和未来研究议程，以开发一种综合机制来解决影响学生积极应对学校犯罪行为的多维因素的动态。学校联系显着增加了学生的报告行为。本文总结了实际意义和未来研究议程，以开发一种综合机制来解决影响学生积极应对学校犯罪行为的多维因素的动态。
