Abstract

A complex system of factors interacting across time shapes community violence. It is not well understood how features of persons, institutions and communities interact as a “system” to produce escalating community violence. We aimed to integrate theoretical and experiential knowledge among young African-American urban males to develop a concept model of key causal structures driving dynamics of community violence escalation over time in a context of historical racism.
