Community violence is an epidemic in our society that continues to impact the lives of thousands of children. In the current investigation, the psychological and neuroendocrine effects of exposure to child maltreatment, chronic community violence exposure, and experiences of trauma-level events were explored. Specifically, we examined the effects of violence on morning cortisol secretions and associated behavioral outcomes. Child maltreatment, community violence, and trauma-level events were found to be significantly related to increased behavioral psychopathology, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depressive, internalizing, and externalizing symptoms; collectively, unique and interactive relations among these risk processes and symptomatology were observed. Levels of cortisol regulation were not found to be related differentially to maltreatment, community violence, or trauma experience or to behavioral symptomatology. However, cortisol levels moderated the effects of different forms of violence on behavioral outcomes. Specifically, maltreated children with lower levels of morning cortisol were found to have the highest scores of internalizing behaviors and depressive symptoms. Considerations for future research and clinical implications are discussed.
