Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: A number of studies indicate that exposure to community violence becomes more common as children move into early and mid-adolescence. Preliminary analyses of data from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) generally support these findings. However, less is known about the factors that may prevent or reduce age-related increases in exposure to community violence. Thus, using data from the PHDCN Longitudinal Cohort Study, this paper examines the potential for protective factors at the individual, family, and neighborhood level to buffer against increases in exposure to community violence during the transition from childhood to adolescence. Additionally, in an effort to explain others' periodic failure to identify relations between age and exposure to community violence, we consider the possibility that high levels of neighborhood disadvantage and crime may reduce the strength of this relation and result in relatively high levels of exposure to violence among even young children. Finally, we further explore preliminary evidence of relations between neighborhood poverty/violence and exposure to community violence, and examine the extent to which protective factors at the individual and family level may reduce the effects of neighborhood poverty/ violence on exposure to violence. Multilevel models are used where appropriate to accommodate the nested structure of the data.
