Summary

Military-connected and nonmilitary-connected public school students participated in a study examining the rates and correlates of school victimization and weapon carrying. Youth with a military-connected parent had higher rates of physical victimization, nonphysical victimization, and weapon carrying compared to those with siblings serving in the military and with nonmilitary-connected youth.
