abstract="Some victims of violence at school hold aggressive attitudes which may place them at risk for involvement in high-risk behaviors. Based on a survey of 10,909 7th, 9th, and 11th grade students, this study compared four groups of students: victims with aggressive attitudes (n=152), victims with nonaggressive attitudes (n=359), nonvictims with aggressive attitudes (n=478), and nonvictims with nonaggressive attitudes (n=2556). Victims with aggressive attitudes were more likely than students in the other three groups to report they had carried weapons, used alcohol, and engaged in physical fights at school. Both victims and nonvictims with aggressive attitudes reported lower academic grades and fewer supportive adults at school than the nonaggressive attitude groups. This study highlights the fact that victims with aggressive attitudes are a vulnerable group of students. Interventions for victims of school violence should be enhanced to address the needs of victims with aggressive attitudes. (Abstract Adapted from Source: Education and Treatment of Children, 2002.
