| Youth victimization: school climate or deviant lifestyles? |
| Summary: Uses school climate theory (which examines physical, social and organisational elements of the school) to analyse the links between victims and offenders in the 11th grade in high schools in Delaware. The research found the social cohesion of schools reduced serious violent victimisation, but that school climate did not affect the relationship between offending and victimisation. |
