ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Guided by the routine activity theory, the current study proposes and tests pathways by which an absence of a capable guardian can contribute to interactions with motivated offenders and suitable targets, increasing the likelihood of teasing others and using alcohol. SAMPLE The study participants consisted of 612 African American adolescents in four low-income neighborhoods in Chicago's Southside.MEASURES:
Measures include alcohol use, absence of a capable guardian, the presence of a motivated offender, target suitability, and teasing. Covariates include age, biological sex, and government assistance. Analyses included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling.RESULTS:
The absence of a capable guardian variable positively correlated with the presence of a motivated offender. The presence of a motivated offender variable was positively associated with target suitability, which was positively related to teasing and alcohol use. The presence of a motivated offender and target suitability variables were positively associated with teasing and alcohol use.CONCLUSION:
Findings highlight the importance of capable guardians and potentially have implications for nursing practice.Palavras-chave
