“…In accordance, it may not be surprising that there is little consistency in its measurement (Barnhardt & Ginns, 2014;Brown et al, 2003b;Çağlar, 2012;Carlson, 1995;Hyman, Cohen, & Mahon, 2003;Johnson, 2005;Mau, 1992;Murdock, 1999). Although most instruments recognized the multidimensional nature of school alienation, it is still obscure whether school alienation is a general or rather a domain-specific construct and what are its key elements.…”

“…In some disorders, theory of mind might become pathologically extended causing disturbing and dysfunctional feelings of 'alienation' from oneself and/or others, such as in PTSD [199][200][201][202] and borderline personality disorder [203,204].…”

“…For example, looking solely at homicides as a gage to determine youth violence can be somewhat deceiving. Although homicides are obviously significant, nonfatal violent acts can also result in significant physical and psychological trauma (Hyman, Cohen, & Mahon, 2003;Hyman, Zelikoff, & Clarke, 1988). When observing nonfatal crimes, there is a tendency for students ages 12 to18 to be at high risk both in school and away from school.…”

“…In other words, exposure to violence increases the likelihood that youth will learn and apply these behaviors to their interactions with others. Hyman et al (2003) also proposed that youth feel the constant need to defend themselves to ensure their safety, which may be used to justify their counter-aggression. Sampson and Laub (1990) found in a longitudinal study of delinquent and non-delinquent males from childhood to age 32 that youth delinquent/criminal behaviors were linked to adult crime , alcohol abuse, social deviance, economic dependency, and unemployment.…”

“…Thus, the physical and psychological injury incurred by adolescent victims of violence often spreads to victimization of other adolescents. Regardless of how the aforementioned youth violence statistics are viewed, it is difficult to minimize the impact that violent acts have on students, teachers, administrators, families, and community members (Daniels, Bradley, & Hays, 2007;Hyman et al, 2003;. Unfortunately, a common reaction by many school systems and communities is to resort to stricter school policies and security precautions; even to the point of "profiling" students.…”

Results did not support school connectedness as a moderator; however, results did support school connectedness as a mediator between school size and youth violence. Although no direct relationship was found between school size and youth violence, there was a significant inverse relationship between school size and school connectedness and a significant inverse relationship between school connectedness and youth violence. These findings highlight the importance of how the quality of individual student-school personnel relationships can play a role in preventing violence both within and outside of the school setting. Furthermore, increasing school student population appears to vii play a role in creating challenges in the development of quality relationships between students and school personnel, which in turn impedes prevention of youth violence. In addition to contributing to the literature on preventing youth violence, this study also underscores the need for future research to take caution in research design and measurement with Add Health data, and further exploration in alternative contextual relationships that may prevent youth violence. Introduction and Literature Review Youth ViolenceViolence in some form has always existed in our schools and communities, but the highly publicized shootings in the 1990s, such as Littleton, Colorado, Jonesboro, Arkansas, and Paducah, Kentucky received extensive media attention resulting in an increase in public awareness and concern (Modzeleski et al., 2008). In 2001, the Surgeon General released a report in order to designate youth violence as a public health concern in the United States (U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2001). Although this report showed that youth violence was less lethal than it was in 1993, violent behaviors involving adolescents showed trends of increasing. In fact, violent crimes committed by adolescents have dramatically increased (Federal Bureau of Investigation, 1999) to the point that this population commits more violent crimes than any other age group (Pastore & Maguire, 2002). Also of concern are the findings that adolescent problem and criminal behaviors are related to future adult illegal behaviors (Loeber & Hay, 1997;Sampson & Laub, 1990). Furthermore, compared to all other age groups, children and adolescents are most likely to be the victims of crimes (Furlong & Morrison, 2000 Moreover, there appears to be a general theme of youth violence being related to feelings of distress, anger, hopelessness, and shame from youth witnessing or experiencing violence (Martinez & Richters, 1993; Ludwig & Warrn, 2009;Osofsky, Werers, Hann, & Fick, 1993 An additional concern of youth exposure to community violence tends to be a resulting cycle of violence where the victims become the perpetrators (Osofsky et al., 1993). Brookmeyer, Fanti, and Henrich (2006) in their analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Study on Adolescent Health (Add Health)found that simply being exposed to violence is a significant predictor of...
