This study explored the effects of structural and experiential neighborhood factors and developmental stage on antisocial behavior, among a sample of poor urban adolescents in New York City. Conceptually and empirically distinct profiles of neighborhood experience were derived from the data, based on measures of perceived neighborhood cohesion, poverty-related hassles, and involvement in neighborhood organizations and activities. Both the profiles of neighborhood experience and a measure of census-tract-level neighborhood hazard (poverty and violence) showed relationships to antisocial behavior. Contrary to expectation, higher levels of antisocial behavior were reported among adolescents residing in moderate-structural-risk neighborhoods than those in high-structural-risk neighborhoods. This effect held only for teens in middle (not early) adolescence and was stronger for teens perceiving their neighborhoods as hassling than for those who did not. Implications for future research and preventive intervention are discussed.

Biosocial Research

Biological factors have been found to influence the development of antisocial behavior. These factors also affect how individuals respond to the environment, including how individuals respond to interventions designed to reduce antisocial behavior. Interventions for youth with antisocial behavior may have the greatest impact if they are targeted toward youth who need it the most (e.g., those who are mostly likely to persist in their behavior problems) as well as youth who may benefit the most from the program. This article discusses potential benefits of a biosocial approach to interventions, as well as the potential ethical concerns that arise.
