Abstract: The purpose of the present study is to provide an analysis of the link between being a victim of bullying
and delinquency trajectories. Using a sample of African Americans (n ¼ 725), the results show that
three distinct trajectory groups of delinquency are present in the data (low desisting, desisting, and
high changing). Further, the results indicate that being a victim of bullying is relevant in distinguishing
between these three delinquency groups net other controls (i.e., being male, marijuana use, gang
membership, and poor parental support). These results are discussed in theoretical contexts.
