Notes: T tests were computed for each predictor variable. Ns range from 187 (educational aspirations) to 372 (peer-nominated measures from childhood) across analyses. The logistic regressions were computed by forward stepwise entry with p<=.10 required for entry. The ns for each respective analysis were: childhood risk (n_V=78, n_NV=240), childhood protective (n_V =74, n_NV =232) adolescent risk (n_V =47, n_NV =142), and adolescent protective (n_V =47, n_NV =140). AOR = adjusted odds ratio. V = violent. NV = non-violent.
