Purpose: Exposure to violence within peer and community contexts, including peer victimization, peers’ dating violence and aggression, exposure to community violence, and having friends in gangs, are independently associated with an increased risk of adolescent dating violence. However, research examining these experiences together in relation to dating violence is limited, particularly among racial and ethnic minority adolescents living in disadvantaged urban communities. The current study aims to address these gaps, examining how exposure to violence within peer and community contexts are related to dating violence within a sample of African American and Hispanic/Latine adolescents living in urban communities of concentrated disadvantage. Method: Data from 233 dating adolescents (55% African American; 45% Hispanic/Latine) between the ages of 13 and 17 (M = 15.48) from 30 urban communities with high levels of concentrated disadvantage were analyzed. Data was obtained via verbally administered surveys. Multilevel logistic regression analyses were conducted. Results: Adolescents reported high levels of violence within their peer, community, and dating contexts. Peer victimization and exposure to community violence emerged as salient risk correlates, as both were associated with higher odds of dating violence victimization and perpetration. Perceptions of peers’ dating violence were associated with higher odds of dating violence perpetration. Having friends in gangs was associated with higher odds of dating violence victimization. Discussion: The current study examined violence within adolescents’ peer and community contexts, finding distinct risks for dating violence victimization and perpetration. These findings inform future directions for dating violence prevention programming to consider, particularly for African American and Hispanic/Latine adolescents in urban disadvantaged communities.

目的：暴露于同伴和社区环境中的暴力，包括同伴受害、同伴约会暴力和攻击、暴露于社区暴力以及在帮派中拥有朋友，与青少年约会暴力风险增加独立相关。然而，对这些经历与约会暴力相关的研究是有限的，特别是对于生活在弱势城市社区的少数族裔青少年。目前的研究旨在解决这些差距，研究生活在弱势群体的城市社区的非裔美国人和西班牙裔/拉丁裔青少年样本中，在同伴和社区环境中遭受暴力与约会暴力之间的关系。方法：对来自 30 个处于高度集中劣势的城市社区的 233 名年龄在 13 至 17 岁之间的约会青少年（55% 非裔美国人；45% 西班牙裔/拉丁裔）的数据进行了分析（M = 15.48）。数据是通过口头调查获得的。进行多水平逻辑回归分析。结果：青少年报告说，他们的同龄人、社区和约会环境中存在大量暴力行为。同伴受害和遭受社区暴力成为显着的风险相关因素，因为两者都与约会暴力受害和实施的较高几率相关。对同龄人约会暴力的看法与约会暴力发生的几率较高有关。在帮派中拥有朋友与约会暴力受害的几率较高有关。讨论：当前的研究调查了青少年同伴和社区环境中的暴力行为，发现约会暴力受害和实施的独特风险。 这些发现为约会暴力预防规划的未来发展方向提供了参考，特别是对于城市弱势社区的非裔美国人和西班牙裔/拉丁裔青少年。
