Trajectories of Parental Harshness and Exposure to Community Violence across Adolescence Differentially Predict Engagement in Antisocial Behavior

To examine the longitudinal development of co-occurring parental harshness and exposure to community violence, and the impact of fluctuations in co-occurrence on antisociality, we used group-based-multi-trajectory modeling in a sample of adolescents. Four co-occurrence trajectories were identified that conferred differential risk for violent vs. non-violent crimes, domestic violence, and arrests.
