(A)(1)I don't want to be involved in this kind of affair.
(2)I don't want to be involved with this kind of affair.
Which one is correct?


(B)(1)She expects to become involved in a volunteer aid agency next year.
(2)She expects to become involved with a volunteer aid agency next year.
Which one is correct? Do both sentences have the same meaning?


Thanks a lot for your help!

I prefer (A) (1). and(B)(1).

But for emotional or personal relationships, I would use "with"... e.g. "She was involved with someone else"
