Abstract: Heightened exposure to Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) is associated with early-onset offending, gang-involvement, reoffending, and offending chronicity. However, examining whether cumulative ACE or specific ACE exposure is related to differences in who these juveniles victimize has been neglected. Given theoretical connections between ACE exposure and the individuals youth victimize, we examine whether ACEs differentiate victims based on the juveniles' relationship to their victims among 28,579 justice-involved adolescents who have committed violent against-person felonies.
