Notes:	This study used data from the US National Survey of Adolescents to examine the relationship between violent victimisation, including family violence among other experiences of violence, and juvenile delinquency defined by drug use and violent/property crime. The authors specifically focused on outcomes by whether youth directly, vicariously (such as witnessed) or dually (both directly and vicariously) experienced violence. Findings indicate that there is a significant relationship between experiencing violence, whether directly or vicariously, with subsequent perpetration of crime and experiencing depression, weak social bonds and delinquent peer association. Additionally, youth who both directly and vicariously experienced violence, experienced significantly greater negative consequences.
