Abstract

The objectives of this research were to identify an extensive set of precursors (risk and prevention) to interpersonal violence on campus and to develop a measure to predict patterns of violence potential on campus with greater specificity. The method involved a study of 451 college students on two campuses and tested the predictive capabilities of the Violence Risk Assessment measure. The results showed that specific situational and gender patterns of violence exist, as well as significant effects of alcohol consumption and peer influence. Implications of results for prevention of violence and directions for further research are discussed.
