Abstract

Research indicates truancy and being bullied (otherwise called bully victimization) are independently linked to violent offending. We examine the associations between truancy, bully victimization, and violent offending in a sample of young people who participated in the Ability School Engagement Program (ASEP) truancy reduction experiment. Pre-intervention, half of the sample reported missing school because they were being bullied. Experiment and control participants both exhibited significant reductions in bully victimization and missing school because of bully victimization. Neither groups exhibited significant reductions in violent offending. Contrasting expectations, participants in the control group had significantly larger reductions in missing school because of bully victimization. Post-intervention measures of bully victimization were significantly related to higher odds of violent offending. Bully victimization is a critical factor in understanding the nexus between truancy and violent offending which, if neglected in an intervention (like ASEP) can lead to backfire effects for young people.

霸凌受害、逃学与暴力犯罪:来自ASEP逃学减少实验的证据

研究表明，逃学和被欺负（也称为欺凌受害者）与暴力犯罪独立相关。我们在参加能力学校参与计划（ASEP）逃学减少实验的年轻人样本中研究了逃学、欺凌受害者和暴力犯罪之间的关系。在干预前，一半的样本报告说他们因为受到欺凌而缺课。实验和对照组的参与者都表现出欺凌受害者和因欺凌而缺课的显著减少。这两个群体的暴力犯罪都没有显著减少。与预期相反，对照组的参与者因欺凌而缺课的人数明显减少。欺凌者受害的干预后措施与更高的暴力犯罪几率显著相关。欺凌受害者是理解逃学和暴力犯罪之间关系的一个关键因素，如果在干预（如ASEP）中被忽视，可能会对年轻人产生适得其反的影响。
