Abstract

Adolescent gang affiliation has long-term, cascading effects across the life course, ruining life chances in multiple domains and leading to sustained involvement in crime and violence. Yet, limited empirical attention has been devoted to exploring what factors may buffer the risk of adolescent gang affiliation on violent behavior in adulthood. The current study examines whether perceived social support during emerging adulthood moderates the relationship between adolescent gang affiliation trajectories and violence in adulthood.
