摘要

目标携带枪支的青少年遭受暴力相关伤害（例如，非致命的枪支袭击）和死亡（例如，他杀）的风险更高。本研究考察了影响青少年持枪行为的直接、间接和总影响因素。方法本研究利用了2023年青少年危险行为调查的数据，该数据来自全国代表性样本（N = 11,251，女性占47.4%）。采用多组结构方程模型评估社区暴力、家庭逆境、人际暴力和物质使用对青少年持枪行为的复杂相互作用。结果暴露于社区暴力对携带枪支的总体影响在男性和女性中都是最强的，且存在性别差异。在女性中，社区暴力对携带枪支有显著的直接影响，而在男性中只观察到间接影响。人际暴力与携带枪支的相关性在女性中显著增强，而物质使用与社区暴力和携带枪支的相关性在男性中显著增强。结论预防青少年持枪，应从减少社区暴力、促进社区安全入手。预防工作应针对女性和男性青少年，并迫切需要解决相互关联的多层次因素的综合战略。

Youth gun carriage: The interplay of community violence, family adversity, interpersonal violence, and substance use

Objective

Youth who carry guns are at higher risk of violence-related injuries (e.g., nonfatal gun assaults) and deaths (e.g., homicide). This study examined the direct, indirect, and total effects of multi-level factors contributing to gun carriage among female and male adolescents.

Methods

This study utilized data from the 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, drawn from a nationally representative sample (N = 11,251, 47.4 % female). Multigroup structural equation modeling was used to assess the complex interplay of community violence, family adversity, interpersonal violence, and substance use on youth gun carriage.

Results

Exposure to community violence had the strongest overall effect on gun carriage in both females and males, with gender-specific patterns. In females, community violence showed a significant direct influence on gun carriage, whereas only indirect effects were observed in males. Moreover, the association between interpersonal violence and gun carriage was significantly stronger in females, while substance use had a stronger correlation with community violence and gun carriage in males.

Conclusions

To prevent youth gun carriage, it is essential to reduce community violence and promote community safety. Prevention efforts should be tailored to both female and male adolescents, and comprehensive strategies that address the interconnected, multi-level factors are urgently needed.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Criminal Justice is an international journal intended to fill the present need for the dissemination of new information, ideas and methods, to both practitioners and academicians in the criminal justice area. The Journal is concerned with all aspects of the criminal justice system in terms of their relationships to each other. Although materials are presented relating to crime and the individual elements of the criminal justice system, the emphasis of the Journal is to tie together the functioning of these elements and to illustrate the effects of their interactions. Articles that reflect the application of new disciplines or analytical methodologies to the problems of criminal justice are of special interest. Since the purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum for the dissemination of new ideas, new information, and the application of new methods to the problems and functions of the criminal justice system, the Journal emphasizes innovation and creative thought of the highest quality.
