Abstract

A developing line of research suggests that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) increase the risk for antisocial behavior and future victimization. However, the mechanisms that underlie this association remain largely speculative. To address this gap in the existing body of research, data on full siblings from a large population-based sample of youth were analyzed to evaluate the direct effect of ACEs on child antisocial behavior, adolescent delinquency, and young adult violent victimization after controlling for familial confounders. Traditional between-family analyses revealed that ACEs were significantly associated with higher levels of childhood antisocial behavior, adolescent delinquent behavior, and risk for violent crime victimization. After controlling for unmeasured common genetic and shared environmental confounds using fixed-effect sibling comparisons, siblings exposed to more ACEs did not demonstrate higher levels of antisocial behavior, delinquent behavior, or risk for future victimization. The implications of these results for future ACEs research are discussed.

进一步评估儿童不良经历、反社会行为和暴力受害之间的关系：兄弟姐妹比较分析

一项正在发展的研究表明，不良童年经历会增加反社会行为和未来受害的风险。然而，这种关联背后的机制在很大程度上仍然是推测性的。为了弥补现有研究中的这一差距，分析了来自大量基于人群的青年样本的完整兄弟姐妹的数据，以评估ACE在控制家庭混杂因素后对儿童反社会行为、青少年犯罪和年轻人暴力受害的直接影响。传统的家庭间分析显示，ACE与较高水平的儿童反社会行为、青少年犯罪行为和暴力犯罪受害风险显著相关。在使用固定效应兄弟姐妹比较控制了未测量的常见遗传和共享环境混杂因素后，接触更多ACE的兄弟姐妹没有表现出更高水平的反社会行为、犯罪行为或未来受害风险。讨论了这些结果对未来ACE研究的影响。

期刊介绍： Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice: An Interdisciplinary Journal provides academics and practitioners in juvenile justice and related fields with a resource for publishing current empirical research on programs, policies, and practices in the areas of youth violence and juvenile justice. Emphasis is placed on such topics as serious and violent juvenile offenders, juvenile offender recidivism, institutional violence, and other relevant topics to youth violence and juvenile justice such as risk assessment, psychopathy, self-control, and gang membership, among others. Decided emphasis is placed on empirical research with specific implications relevant to juvenile justice process, policy, and administration. Interdisciplinary in scope, Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice serves a diverse audience of academics and practitioners in the fields of criminal justice, education, psychology, social work, behavior analysis, sociology, law, counseling, public health, and all others with an interest in youth violence and juvenile justice.
