Abstract: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic incidents linked to various negative outcomes, including delinquent behavior. Although research has demonstrated that exposure to ACEs increases involvement in delinquency, there is a lack of understanding of factors influencing this relationship. Not all who encounter adversity engage in delinquency, which suggests that other conditions can affect how youth respond to ACEs. We examine the potential influence of neighborhood collective efficacy on the relationship between ACEs and delinquency.
