Community-Related Risk Factors for Later Violence (Seattle Study)
The Seattle longitudinal study highlighted several community-level predictors of later violence. The availability of drugs was a persistent risk factor at ages 10, 14, and 16. Economic deprivation was predictive at age 10 and again at age 16. Other factors, such as community disorganization and the presence of neighborhood adults involved in crime, became predictive from age 14 onwards.

Based on this key finding, what is the most logical implication for designing prevention strategies?
