Crime statistics indicate that African-Americans are arrested for nearly half of all homicides. Additional studies show disproportional engagement in such behaviors as fighting and carrying weapons that further increase the likelihood of serious violence among Black youth. The current study investigated the prevalence and potential impact of PTSD, hopelessness, attentional dyscontrol, and exposure to violence on anger, aggression, and the self-reported use of violence in 100 Black, White and Latino male participants age 16--22.

520 $a Crime statistics indicate that African-Americans are arrested for nearly half of all homicides. Additional studies show disproportional engagement in such behaviors as fighting and carrying weapons that further increase the likelihood of serious violence among Black youth. The current study investigated the prevalence and potential impact of PTSD, hopelessness, attentional dyscontrol, and exposure to violence on anger, aggression, and the self-reported use of violence in 100 Black, White and Latino male participants age 16--22.
520 $a Nine measures were used in the investigation in addition to a demographic questionnaire. The measures included the Trauma Symptoms Inventory (TSI) Anger/Irritability Scale, the Violence Response Questionnaire (VRQ), the Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS) Non-Ordinary Violence Scale, the Trauma Symptoms Checklist-40 (TSC-40), the Survey of Children's Exposure to Community Violence, the Violence History Questionnaire (VHQ), the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), the Stroop Color and Word Test, and the Digit Vigilance Test (DVT).
520 $a Multiple regression analyses indicated that exposure to violence, PTSD, hopelessness and attentional dyscontrol successfully mediated the relationship between race and self-reported use of violence. Analysis of Variance results indicated that African-American males were exposed to significantly greater levels of exposure to community violence than both White and Latino males, while they also exhibited higher levels of distractibility than Whites. Both of these factors significantly predicted the self-reported use of violence among African-Americans. While groups were comparable on measures of trauma, hopelessness, and anger, correlation results indicated that hopelessness was significantly related to PTSD, distractibility, and the use of violence among African-American males.
