Abstract
ABSTRACTBased on data from the 2010, 2012, and 2014 Communities that Care Youth Survey, the authors examine the protective factors associated with rural and urban students in grades 6 through 12 across several domains. This research is based on the literature that associates rural areas with a more protective environment and resulting lower rates of deviance. Findings were mixed, but overall rural youth had higher protective factor scores. A summary of all 84 protective factor scores follows: 26 factors shown no significant different between rural and urban students; on 42 protective factors rural youth had higher scores, as opposed to urban youth with higher protective scores on only 16 factors. Implications of findings for crime and delinquency are discussed.
