Criminological research has long suggested that attitudes concerned with honor and aggression, such as the 'street code', are related to violent offending and victimization. Comparatively little information is known, however, about the mechanisms through which these attitudes increase violence. In the current study, predictions were tested using longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of young adults in the United States. Results show that conflict-related tendencies mediate the pathways that link the street code to violent offending and victimization. In addition, remedial actions temper the association between disputatiousness and violence involvement. (publisher abstract modified)
