    • Violent socialization and youth violence across different nations: International variations in familial and contextual factors

      Current Perspectives in Family Research

      This study examined if an association between contextual effects of violent socialization and violent youth behavior occurred across different nations. Using data from the International Dating Violence Study, multilevel modeling regression analysis indicated two important findings. First, violent socialization significantly varies across different national contexts and this contextual effect accounts for a significant proportion of variation in youth violence. Second, violent socialization, both within individual families and as a contextual effect within different nations, is significantly associated with increases in violent youth behavior across the nations. This study appears to be one of the first published studies offering empirical evidence for international research on the theoretical argument of the contextual effects of violence within a nation, and begins to increase knowledge among criminologists of such contextual factors being associated with youth violent behavior across different nations.
