Victims & Offenders, v. 1, Issue 1, pp. 84-1011556-48861556-4991https://hdl.handle.net/2144/26125Youth reporting independently elevated levels of religiosity and self-efficacy tend to abstain from externalizing behavior. However, little is known about the ways in which religiosity and self-efficacy interrelate to impact youth externalizing. Drawing from a sample of African American youth from public housing communities (N = 236), we use latent profile analysis to identify subtypes of youth based on self-reported religiosity and self-efficacy and, in turn, examine links with crime. Compared to youth in other subgroups, those classified as both highly religious and highly self-efficacious reported less involvement in minor and severe delinquency, but not violence.p. 84-101en-USCriminologyAfrican American youthDelinquencyReligiositySelf-efficacyViolenceYouthArticle10.1080/15564886.2016.12689860000-0001-8817-853X (Salas-Wright, Christopher P.)
