  • Associations Between Gun-Involved Victimization, Poly-Victimization, and Gun Carrying in a U.S. National Sample of Younger Adults

    Heather A Turner, Kimberly Mitchell et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aggression,…2026

    Exposure to violence has been found to influence gun carrying, but few studies have specifically examined associations between gun violence exposure and gun carrying, controlling for other forms of victimization. Additionally, little research has considered the role of poly-victimization. The current study uses data from the Growing Up with Guns study, a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of participants recruited through the AmeriS…

  • Trauma-Informed Approaches to Campus Sexual Assault Response: A Mixed-Methods Study

    Open AccessKai MacLean, Lesley Watson et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2026References: 3

    This study examined attitudes towards and implementation of trauma-informed approaches in sexual assault response protocols at U.S. higher education institutions through a two-phase mixed-methods approach. This included surveying 830 institutions and interviewing 43 participants representing seven of those institutions. Staff involved in response efforts supported trauma-informed approaches, but were often constrained by federal requirements (i.e…

  • Binge drinking, job stressors, and resilience in a nationally representative sample of law enforcement officers

    Open AccessMichelle Dougherty, Meghan O’leary et al.ARTICLEThe Police Journal Theory…2025

    Law enforcement officers experience high rates of stress associated with their work, potentially leading to alcohol use as a means of coping. Using data from a nationally representative survey of law enforcement officers in the U.S., we found that adjusted odds of binge drinking monthly or more frequently increased significantly with higher levels of administrative stress and each additional type of critical incident reported. Increased officer r…

  • Occupational Prestige of Law Enforcement Officers: Quantifying Self and Public Perceptions of Prestige

    Open AccessKatelin M Alfaro Hudak, Arthur Combs et al.ARTICLESocial Science Quarterly2025References: 46

    Objective Perceptions of occupational prestige are commonly associated with job satisfaction and job turnover intentions, but little is known about how law enforcement officers (LEOs) view the prestige of policing. We quantify how LEOs rate the prestige of policing and how they think their communities view policing. We evaluate the extent to which LEO understandings of public perceptions match actual public perceptions. Methods We estimated occup…

  • Exploring the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 as a screening tool for wellness in law enforcement

    Sandra L Ramey, Madeleine M Liotta et al.ARTICLEPolice Practice and Research2024

    Law enforcement officers globally face unique stressors and heightened morbidity compared to the general population. This study emerged as part of an initiative to provide data needed to design policies and programs that address the stressors faced by officers and to investigate how these factors may affect officer performance. As part of this initiative, a nationally representative cohort of officers (n = 2,867, mean age 41) answered questions r…

  • Technology-facilitated abuse of young adults in the United States: A latent class analysis

    Open AccessElizabeth A Mumford, Poulami Maitra et al.ARTICLECyberpsychology Journal of…2023

    Awareness of the growing potential for technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) raises questions about the prevalence of the problem overall and in various forms. The current study fielded a newly developed comprehensive measure of 27 different forms of TFA in a nationally representative sample of US adults ages 18–35. Item response theory analytic techniques were applied to identify items that captured the range of young adult experiences, resulting i…

  • Correlates of the victim–offender overlap based on daily conflict-Level data from digital diaries

    Open AccessBruce G Taylor, Elizabeth A Mumford et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2022

    This study addresses the dearth of research in the victim–offender (V-O) overlap literature regarding the context in which incident-level abuse occurs. With a national sample of 589 young adults (age 18–32), 9.2% reported 2,015 daily conflicts (73% involving abuse) through digital diaries over a 6-week period. Using individual conflicts as our unit of analysis, we estimated multilevel models to explore both the nature of the individual conflicts …

  • Academic and Career Outcomes Following Sexual Assault in Early Adulthood: A Comparison of LGBQ+ and Heterosexual Women

    Open AccessElizabeth A Moschella, Simon J Potter et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2022References: 10

    Young adults (aged 18-24) who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) report high rates of sexual assault (SA) victimization, yet much of the research on adverse outcomes resulting from SA has overlooked LGBQ+ victims. A probability-based sample of 901 adults was recruited to examine the negative academic and career outcomes attributed to SA during early adulthood among LGBQ+ cisgender women. LGBQ+ women were more likely to report ne…

  • Online sexual harassment and cyberbullying in a nationally representative sample of teens: Prevalence, predictors, and consequences

    Open AccessJennifer E Copp, Elizabeth A Mumford et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2021

    INTRODUCTION: There are burgeoning bodies of research on cyberbullying and online sexual harassment. Yet existing work often fails to distinguish between these two unique forms of online victimization, is largely cross sectional, and based on convenience or specialized samples. We examined the prevalence, predictors, and mental health and behavioral consequences of cyberbullying and online sexual harassment using a large, representative sample of…

  • Prevalence of and Risk Markers for Dating Abuse–Related Stalking and Harassment Victimization and Perpetration in a Nationally Representative Sample of U.S. Adolescents

    Open AccessE F Rothman, Eva Bahrami et al.ARTICLEYouth & Society2021References: 36

    There are no nationally representative estimates of the prevalence of dating abuse–related stalking and harassment. We analyzed data collected from 320 twelve- to 18-year-old U.S. youth. Youth with dating experience were asked whether a dating partner had ever spied on or followed them, damaged something that belonged to them, or gone through their online accounts. The prevalence of lifetime stalking and harassment victimization was 48% and the p…

  • The Campus Sexual Assault Policy and Prevention Initiative: Findings From Key Informant Interviews

    Open AccessDeborah Backman, Kaitlin Spear et al.ARTICLEHealth Education & Behavior2020

    Addressing the widespread problem of sexual assault in college environments requires both prevention programming and policies addressing sexual misconduct in institutions of higher education. Through the Campus Sexual Assault Policy and Prevention Initiative, nine programs funded by the Office on Women’s Health approached this problem within a network of eight to 13 campuses apiece, supported by national organizations and local task forces. Near …

  • Neighborhood violent crime and adolescent relationship aggression

    Open AccessBruce G Taylor, Elizabeth A Mumford et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2020Cited by: 1References: 99

    Research has shown that neighborhoods play a role in the etiology of violence. However, few adolescent relationship aggression (ARA) studies have objective measures of violent neighborhoods. Drawing on a nationally representative sample of youth, this study examines the association between ARA and local levels of violent crime (measured using geocoded Uniform Crime Report data from each of the youths’ residential neighborhoods). Study analyses ar…

  • The interpersonal context of depression and violent behavior: A social psychological interpretation

    Open AccessM T Berg, E M Rogers et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2019Cited by: 4References: 71

    Depression is a particularly prevalent form of psychopathology affecting millions of individuals worldwide. It is associated with a variety of adverse social and behavioral outcomes. Numerous observational studies have found that depressed individuals have significantly elevated rates of interpersonal violence. As of now, the social mechanisms that explain the association between depression and violence remain understudied and not well understood…

  • Longitudinal trajectories of perpetration of adolescent dating abuse in a national sample

    Open AccessElizabeth A Mumford, Weiwei Liu et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2019Cited by: 3References: 64

    Despite extensive research regarding patterns and outcomes of victimization in dating relationships, there has been limited investigation of the developmental profiles of the perpetration of adolescent dating abuse (ADA). We estimated longitudinal latent growth models of ADA perpetration in a sample of 2,269 U.S. adolescents/young adults ages 12–18 at baseline, drawing on four waves (2013–2017) of data from the nationally representative Survey of…

  • Lessons of an Honour Code: A Consideration of Conflict-related Processes and Interpersonal Violence

    Open AccessM T Berg, E M Rogers et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Criminology2019Cited by: 4References: 40

    Criminological research has long suggested that attitudes concerned with honour and aggression, such as the ‘street code’, are related to violent offending and victimization. Comparatively, little information is known, however, about the mechanisms through which these attitudes increase violence. Drawing from interactionist perspectives of aggression and subcultural theories, we examine the mediating role of two conflict-related tendencies: dispu…

  • Financial Behaviors, Couple‐Level Conflict, and Adolescent Relationship Abuse: Longitudinal Results From a Nationally Representative Sample
