I found a journal article that discusses the connection between
the microsystem and exosystem and violence in schools and
student victimization. The study, titled
Neighborhood, Family and Individual Influences on School
Physical Victimization
, was published in 2012; however, the topic is still relevant six
years later.

3. The exosystem of Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory is
an environment in which an individual is not involved and is
external to his/her experiences. According to the study’s
authors, “the ecological systems model identifies individual
characteristics, microsystems, and exosystems as influential on
bullying and victimization” (2013). Therefore, the microsystem
includes the child’s interaction with family and within social
settings; the exosystem “involves linkages and processes
between two or more settings” – in this case study, home and
school and the neighborhood of residence.
The 2012 study revealed that residential instability, such as
high resident turnover rates, increases school victimization.
They also revealed a connection between parent/child
aggression within the home (microsystem) and a high risk of
school victimization.
The individual characteristics considered by the study included
race, class, gender, and age. Through the study results, the
authors identified risk factors in the microsystems. These risk
factors included child maltreatment within the home in which
children learn negative interaction styles. Public schools are
also sources of higher violence, theft, and bullying than private
schools within the same geographical settings. The risk factors
of the exosystem consisted of the community and neighborhood
of both the child’s personal residence and school location;
poverty, socioeconomic status, and high turnover of residents
were all identified as risk factors.
I found this study to be incredibly relevant not just in terms of
school violence but also the connection between the location of
the schools and neighborhoods. Lower socioeconomic status and
poverty results in more school violence. Of course, there are
exceptions to the rule and bullying and violence definitely
occurs in private schools and families with high economic
status.
