Five Domains of Risk Factors for youth gang involvement include which set of domains?

• A. Individual, Family, School, Peers, and Community
• B. Mental, Physical, Social, Economic, and Cultural
• C. Academic, Family, Neighborhood, Online, and Peer
• D. Biological, Psychological, and Environmental

Answer: (A)

The question is testing the standard framework used to categorize risk factors for youth gang involvement across different areas of a young person’s life. The most widely recognized set includes five domains: individual, family, school, peers, and community. Each domain captures distinct influences: the individual domain covers personal traits and behaviors; the family domain looks at parenting, supervision, and family dynamics; the school domain encompasses academic engagement and school experiences; the peers domain focuses on friendships and peer group influence; and the community domain addresses neighborhood environment, resources, and exposure to violence. The other options mix in broad or non-standard categories (for example, including online or cultural dimensions, or combining into only three domains), which don’t align with the established five-domain model. Therefore, the set that lists individual, family, school, peers, and community is the best answer.
