Based on data obtained from the Chicago project on human development - a longitudinal study of children, multiple cohorts, and 80 neighborhood clusters - the current study focused on the Hispanic children in the 9, 12, and 15 year-old cohorts to determine whether there was a link between generational status and involvement in violence perpetration and violent victimization. Consistent with previous research, the study found that third-generation immigrant Hispanics were more likely than the first and second generational cohorts to be involved in violence perpetration. In addition, the study found that second-generation immigrants were more likely to be victims of violence than first-generation Hispanic children. Neither delinquent peers nor self-control mediated the relationship between generational status and violence perpetration; however, delinquent peers did mediate the relationship between generational status and violent victimization.
