Latent Profiles of Victimization and the Likelihood of Carrying Weapons to School
Mindrila, Diana Luminita; Davis, Pamela
AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (San Antonio, TX, Apr 27-May 1, 2017)
The study developed a typology of cyber- and traditional victimization. The sample consisted of 497 adolescents (ages 12-18) who took the 2013 School Crime Supplement of the National Crime Victimization Survey. Latent profile analysis (LPA) with a 3-step estimation procedure was employed, using school behavior management as a covariate and weapon carrying as a distal outcome. LPA yielded three latent profiles: (a) Average, (b) Traditional & Cyber-victims, and (c) Traditional victims. As behavior management effectiveness increased, the likelihood of being assigned to groups with higher victimization levels decreased. Further, the Average group was 57.6% less likely to carry weapons than the Traditional & Cyber-victims group.
