Intersectional differences in serious violent victimization trajectories across the life course.

ABSTRACT: There is substantial research regarding how individual demographic factors like race, gender, and class influence violent victimization risk, holding significant implications for short and long-term health outcomes. However, there remains limited insight into how intersectional identities shape victimization trajectories over time. This study draws on five waves of Add Health data to analyze how trajectories of violent victimization differ at the intersection of race/ethnicity and sex from adolescence through middle adulthood in the United States. We estimate longitudinal trajectories among six distinct groups using semi-parametric group-based trajectory models (GBTM). We find that Black men have the highest levels of violent victimization with the lowest likelihood of evading victimizatio
