“…The final scale is based on the highest ISEI score across both caregivers and both measurements at waves 1 and 3. Caregivers' unemployment and financial difficulties were measured at wave 1 and coded 1 if a caregiver had experienced at least a trimester of unemployment or, alternatively, if the household had experienced a trimester of financial hardship since the child's birth, and 0 in all other cases (Eisner et al, 2009). Migration background was assessed on the basis of the caregivers' country of birth.…”

This article reviews a range of risk factors for aggression at age 11 derived from a prospective longitudinal study on the social development of children in a large multi-ethnic sample in Switzerland. The study uses a multi-informant approach that permits reliance on combined measures of social behaviour and covers factors derived from a wide range of risk domains. Besides analysing the effects of individual risk factors, the study also investigates the effect size of cumulative risk within and across risk domains. It further analyses gender differences in risk vulnerability. Results suggest that proximal behavioural and psychological risk factors most strongly predict later aggression, whereas more distal external factors related to the family, to school and to peer relationships are less predictive. The most distal factors (perinatal risks and sociodemographic factors) are only marginally associated with later aggression. Analysis of cumulative risk suggests a strong relationship between the number of risk factors and later aggression. Finally, results support the notion of a higher risk vulnerability of boys compared with girls. Results are discussed in the context of extant research.

“…Various studies have presented the psychometric qualities of new instruments developed for z-proso. These include the z-proso Event History Calendar (M. Eisner et al, 2009), the Moral Neutralisation of Aggression Scale (Ribeaud & Eisner, 2010a), the Zurich Brief Bullying Scale , the Violent Ideations Scale , and the violent extremist attitudes scale (Nivette et al, 2017).…”

“…Repeated assessments also included the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (Shelton et al, 1996), which assessed parenting behaviour, and a brief family climate scale. Event history calendars provided information about life events since the birth of the child, including parental separation, unemployment, and major illnesses (M. Eisner et al, 2009). Other topics covered included household composition and socioeconomic status, substance use during pregnancy, perinatal complications, migration history and acculturation of families with a migration background, general well-being of the primary caregiver, utilisation of parenting support, family functioning, and behaviour problems of siblings of the child (Ribeaud & Eisner, 2010b).…”

The Zurich Project on Social Development from Childhood to Adulthood (z-proso) began in 2004 in response to the need for a better evidence base to support optimal child social development and prevent crime and violence. Since then, the study has tracked the development of a diverse sample of youths (N = 1,675 in the target sample; ~50% female) from age 7 (n = 1,360) to age 20 (n = 1,180), with primary data collection waves at ages 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, and 20. The study uses a multi-method, multi-informant design that combines teacher, youth, and parent reports with observational and behavioural measures, biosampling, functional imaging, and ecological momentary assessment. Analyses of the data have contributed important evidence to a diversity of topics in child and adolescent development, illuminating the developmental roots of crime and aggression, the impacts of exposure to different forms and combinations of victimisation, and trajectories of mental health and neurodevelopmental symptoms.

“…This has enormous potential for the study of IPV, where victimizations have been serial in nature (Rand and Saltzman 2003). Various studies in criminal justice, including aggressive and nonaggressive childhood behavior, offense specialization/versatility, and prisoner self-report of criminal behavior, have successfully used the life history calendar method to collect data (Eisner et al 2009; McGloin et al 2007; Roberts and Wells 2010; Sullivan et al 2006; Sutton et al 2011). In spite of the benefits associated with life history calendars, validity of self-reported timing of events has been lower than self-reported frequency, especially when studying arrests (Morris and Slocum 2010; Roberts and Wells 2010).…”

Objectives: To examine whether victim, offender, and relationship characteristics increase the risk and frequency of intimate partner violence (IPV). The effect of separation length on the risk of IPV is also evaluated. Methods: Using abuse incident data (N = 4,960) from IPV victims (n = 497), who accessed a health-care facility over a one-year period, between-individual differences in the frequency and timing of abuse were assessed. Dependence of event times within respondents was accounted for with conditional risk set “gap time” models, which stratified participants across event number and failure order. Results: Employment of both partners and only the victim decreased the risk and frequency. Employment of only the abuser and length of separation decreased frequency but was not significantly associated with timing of abuse. Separated and non-separated respondents were not significantly different in frequency (incident risk ratio = 1.06, p > .05) and timing of abuse, (exp (b) = 0.95, p > .05). Conclusions: By capturing the timing between abuse incidents, insight into the long-term risk of abuse is provided and accounts for selection effects. Findings call for an improvement in measuring relationship status indicators, including relationship length and time since separation. Future research should examine within-individual changes in separation and IPV risk.
