Resilience looks like me”
Black boys and young men are disproportionately burdened with navigating contexts of community violence resulting from race-based structural inequities and concentrated disadvantage. Despite this chronic adversity, many Black boys and young men thrive; however, resilience research has traditionally focused on identifying individual- and family-level factors that support resilience. Research has yet to fully examine community-level resources that …
Perceptions of girls and young women on the role of gender and social media conflict implicated in violence
Social media has changed the landscape of adolescence, altering how young people communicate and connect with peers. This study explores how young women of color living in marginalized neighborhoods perceive, manage, and make meaning of social media threats and conflict. Previous research shows that social media narratives tend to reify gender differences and devalue the experiences of conflict among girls and young women. Focus group discussions…

Addressing the inappropriate use of force by police in the United States and beyond
Recent high‐profile incidents involving the deadly application of force in the United States sparked worldwide protests and renewed scrutiny of police practices as well as scrutiny of relations between police officers and minoritized communities. In this report, we consider the inappropriate use of force by police from the perspective of behavioral and social science inquiry related to aggression, violence, and intergroup relations. We examine th…
Advancing social justice and affirming humanity in developmental science research with African American boys and young men
This commentary engages the three elements of a social justice framework in the study of African American Boys and Men’s (AABM) positive development, proposed by Barbarin, Tolan, and Gaylord-Harden (2019 Barbarin, O. A., Tolan, P. H., & Gaylord-Harden, N. K. (2019). Chronic adversity, racism and positive development of African American boys and young men: Toward a social justice perspective on developmental research. Manuscript submitted for publ…
You Set Me Up
We sought to identify the key dynamics in the relationship between social media and violence by identifying new mechanisms that elucidate how Internet banging becomes offline violence through the perceptions of the Black and Latino boys and men. We conducted 33 interviews with Black and Latino boys and men aged 14-24 who live in Chicago, have experience with gang violence, and are social media users. In our investigation of the use of social medi…
That’s My Number One Fear in Life. It’s the Police”
Black males are disproportionately the victims of police killings in the United States, yet few studies have examined their personal narratives of trauma and bereavement resulting from police violence. Informed by critical race theory and stress and coping theory, we used a modified grounded theory approach to conduct and analyze in-depth, semistructured life history interviews with 40 young Black men (aged 18-24 years) in Baltimore, Maryland. St…
Gang violence on the digital street
Social media connects youth to peers who share shared experiences and support; however, urban gang-involved youth navigate ‘the digital street’ following a script that may incite violence. Urban gang-involved youth use SNS to brag and insult and make threats a concept known as Internet banging. Recent research suggests Internet banging has resulted in serious injury and homicide. We argue violence may be disseminated in Chicago through social med…
