Investigates environmental and behavioral risk factors as predictors of involvement in violent behavior among African American youth. Analyzed risk factors include exposure to violence, deteriorated school environment, negative peer environment,traumatic experiences, alcohol use, and substance abuse. Explores gender differences and suggests that preventative interventions should have an ecological approach, including a community and individual focus. (
