Abstract

In 2021, 13.6% of United States (U.S.) high school students reported experiencing teen dating violence (TDV). Most states have at least one law for addressing TDV in high schools through policies and/or educational programs. Limited research has been done to analyze the content and variability of school district TDV policies across the U.S., and its association with TDV victimization. Twenty-three large urban school districts across the U.S. were included in the analysis. School district TDV policies were obtained through an online search and were coded for the presence or absence of information pertaining to the scope, prevention education, response to TDV, and implementation of the policy. Self-reported TDV victimization was also obtained for each school district from the 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Overall, 18 school districts had a written TDV policy available online, with 15 school districts defining TDV in the policy. In terms of prevention education, only two school districts used culturally responsive language for diverse populations in the policy. Although 17 school districts included disciplinary consequences for TDV perpetration in the policy, only 6 school districts specified the consequences. All school districts with a TDV policy designated a liaison for TDV coordination. Overall, the prevalence and odds of self-reported TDV victimization was higher in school districts without a TDV policy compared to school districts with a TDV policy. Although most of the school districts had a TDV policy, there was substantial variation in the content of these TDV policies. Identifying and addressing gaps in school district TDV policies can potentially lead schools to preventing and responding to TDV more comprehensively, ultimately creating safer school environments.

对校区解决青少年约会暴力问题的政策进行多州审查。
2021 年,13.6% 的美国高中生报告曾遭受过青少年约会暴力 (TDV)。大多数州至少制定了一项法律,通过政策和/或教育计划来解决高中中的青少年约会暴力问题。在分析全美校区青少年约会暴力政策的内容和差异性以及其与青少年约会暴力受害情况的关联方面,所做的研究十分有限。美国 23 个大型城市学区被纳入分析范围。校区 TDV 政策是通过在线搜索获得的,并根据是否存在与政策的范围、预防教育、对 TDV 的反应和实施相关的信息进行编码。此外,还从 2021 年青少年危险行为调查中获得了各学区自报的 TDV 受害情况。总体而言,有 18 个学区在网上提供了成文的 TDV 政策,其中 15 个学区在政策中对 TDV 进行了定义。在预防教育方面,只有两个学区在政策中使用了针对不同人群的文化敏感性语言。虽然有 17 个学区在政策中纳入了对实施 TDV 的惩戒后果,但只有 6 个学区明确规定了后果。所有制定了 TDV 政策的学区都指定了一名负责 TDV 协调工作的联络员。总体而言,与制定了校区暴力政策的校区相比,未制定校区暴力政策的校区自我报告的校区暴力受害发生率和几率更高。尽管大多数学区都制定了家庭暴力政策,但这些政策的内容存在很大差异。找出并解决学区家庭暴力政策中的不足,有可能促使学校更全面地预防和应对家庭暴力,最终创造更安全的学校环境。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Interpersonal Violence is devoted to the study and treatment of victims and perpetrators of interpersonal violence. It provides a forum of discussion of the concerns and activities of professionals and researchers working in domestic violence, child sexual abuse, rape and sexual assault, physical child abuse, and violent crime. With its dual focus on victims and victimizers, the journal will publish material that addresses the causes, effects, treatment, and prevention of all types of violence. JIV only publishes reports on individual studies in which the scientific method is applied to the study of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Research may use qualitative or quantitative methods. JIV does not publish reviews of research, individual case studies, or the conceptual analysis of some aspect of interpersonal violence. Outcome data for program or intervention evaluations must include a comparison or control group.
