Abstract
Five waves of longitudinal data from a sample of minority youth living in extreme poverty were used to examine the impact of chronic exposure to violence on chronic violent behavior. Given the rapid rate of developmental change during adolescence and the lack of multiyear studies of exposure to violence, semiparametric group-based modeling was used to identify trajectories of chronic exposure to violence (7% of youth), chronic violent victimization (9% of youth), chronic vicarious victimization (39% of youth), and chronic violent behavior (12% of youth). The multivariate findings revealed that (a) youth with chronic exposure to violence were 3,150% (or 31.5 times) more likely to engage in chronic violent behavior and (b) chronic vicarious victimization was a significant predictor of chronic violent behavior, after controlling for the effects of chronic violent victimization. The theoretical and policy implications of these findings as well as areas for future research are discussed."

Mom sees 'no justice' for son after final cases end without jail in teen's beating

Mom sees 'no justice' for son after final cases end without jail in teen's beating

By Daryl Slade, Calgary Herald

"Knowing no one will go to jail for a brutal swarming attack that has scarred a young man for life isn't justice, says his mother.

On Thursday, the last two youths charged in connection with the 2007 beating of Blair Palmer were sentenced to probation. None of the five accused admitted to assaulting Palmer, now 21, and none were sent to jail.

"It's difficult to separate out what we might like to think is justice, because there certainly isn't any today. There is no justice," Stephanie Lindeburg said outside court. "
