“…This finding is consistent with evidence that acculturation is a risk factor for aggression [2] and that strong ethnic identity is a protective factor [7]. Among the various groups, Smokowski et al [6] found that American Indian and Alaskan Native adolescents were at higher statistical risk for various types of aggression when compared with other minority groups.…”

“…These long-term outcomes reflect enduring challenges to communities in which adolescent aggression is common and leaves the perpetrators and victims, and their communities at large, at considerable risk. Accordingly, the elevated rates of both victims and perpetrators of aggressive acts among minority groups in North America [2] may contribute to the enduring social concerns that are faced by some of these communities. In the United States, the increased risk associated with aggression is especially evident among American Indian students who are at particular statistical risk for victimization with rates two times higher than for black students, 2.5 times higher than for white students, and 4.5 times higher than for Asian/Pacific Islander students [3].…”

“…They found that "ethnic identity can serve as a protective factor to promote healthy adjustment, helping minority youth overcome the effects of a hostile environment." Soriano et al (89) also found that ethnic identity and bicultural self-efficacy can be potential protective factors for youth violence. They described bicultural self-efficacy as "the extent to which ethnic minorities are able to act with confidence and acceptance of their own cultural background while holding some level of appreciation of the dominant cultural group within major life domains.…”

Youth violence is recognized as a major public health problem in the United States and the world. Over the past ten years, progress has been made in documenting the factors that contribute to violent behavior. Emerging research is deepening our understanding of the individual and societal influences that contribute to and protect against youth violence. However, much work still remains to be done in this field, both in examining potential causes and in designing effective intervention strategies. This chapter highlights specific dimensions of youth violence prevention selected by the authors because these dimensions are the focus of public attention, are emerging as critical issues in the study of youth violence, or have a unique place in the current political and social context. We focus on the developmental pathways to violence, factors that mediate and moderate youth violence, the role of culture and media in youth violence, school-based violence such as school shootings and bullying, and the training of health care professionals.

“…Research on Latino adults has largely indicated risk of violence is greater when there is a high level of U.S.-oriented acculturation, lower Hispanic orientation among partners, or both (Caetano et al 2000;Lown and Vega 2001;Sorenson and Telles 1991;Soriano et al 2004). Garcia and colleagues (2005) found greater odds of reported intimate partner violence victimization for U.S.-acculturated Latinas compared to those with less acculturation.…”

Despite the prevalence of intimate partner violence in emerging adulthood, literature focused on this life stage among Latinos remains limited. This longitudinal study examined acculturation; traditional gender role attitudes; use of alcohol, marijuana, and tobacco; and depressive symptoms in 10th grade as predictors of intimate partner violence perpetration and victimization among Latino emerging adults (N = 823; 58% female). Average age of participants was 15.5 years in 10th grade and 22.7 years in emerging adulthood. The results indicate important gender differences in intimate partner violence outcomes for Latino emerging adults. Higher U.S. acculturation predicted physical intimate partner violence perpetration among young men. More traditional gender role attitudes were significantly associated with psychological and physical intimate partner violence perpetration among male Latino emerging adults. Among Latinas, alcohol use in 10th grade predicted psychological perpetration and victimization in emerging adulthood. The findings have implications for developing gender- and ethnic-relevant prevention interventions focused on intimate partner violence among Latino adolescents and emerging adults.
