Edmonton Journal (Canada) 19/7/2024 News Examining gang membership and victimisation as predictors of gun violence perpetration: testing for interactive effects Research has indicated the relevance of gang membership and victimisation as risk factors for predicting the perpetration of gun violence. However, there is a dearth of research that has examined the potential that gang membership may moderate the impact of victimisation on gun violence perpetration. This study examined this prospect within a sample of justice-involved youth. The Pathways to Desistance dataset was analysed. Generalised estimating equations were used to test for direct and interactive effects of gang membership and victimisation while accounting for nested error corresponding to the repeated measures in this 11-wave longitudinal dataset. Results indicated that gang membership was associated with an increased risk of gun violence perpetration, but not victimisation. The hypothesised interaction effect was also nonsignificant.
