“…Further, there is evidence from prospective longitudinal research that exposure to trauma in early childhood is predictive of engagement in the kind of serious antisocial behavior that leads to involvement in the juvenile justice system (e.g., Cernkovich et al 2008;Egeland et al 2002;Feiring et al 2007;Lansford et al 2007;Stewart et al 2008;Tyler et al 2008;Widom et al 2006). As Putnam (2006) suggests, trauma has significant effects on neuropsychological and psychosocial development that in turn contribute to difficulties in emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal functioning that increase the risk of delinquency (Ford et al 2006).…”

“…A number of investigators have found that girls have been exposed disproportionately to interpersonal traumas, such as abuse at the hands of parents or romantic partners (e.g., Cauffman 2004;Chamberlain and Moore 2002;Steiner et al 1997;Wood et al 2002). Gender differences are evident particularly for the interpersonal trauma of sexual abuse, which consistently is found to be more prevalent for delinquent girls than boys (e.g., Abram et al 2004;Belknap and Holsinger 2006;Dembo et al 2007;Ford et al 2008b;Johansson and Kempf-Leonard 2009;Kerig et al 2009;Tyler et al 2008;Wareham and Dembo 2007;Wood et al 2002). Moreover, sexual abuse does not comprise a single event for many of these youth: for example, McCabe et al (2002) found that detained girls had experienced on average four sexual assaults before the age of 12.…”

This study investigated the sensitivity and specificity of the most widely used mental health screening instrument in juvenile detention, the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument (MAYSI-2), for detecting trauma and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among detained youth. The MAYSI-2 scales measuring Substance Use, Anger/Irritability, Depression/Anxiety, and Traumatic Experiences contributed to the prediction of PTSD symptoms; however, only Depression/Anxiety contributed to the prediction of associated symptoms for girls. The ROC curves technique indicated that the Traumatic Experiences scale was a moderately accurate predictor of likely Full or Partial PTSD but not superior to the other MAYSI-2 scales. These results suggest further work is needed to develop measures that are sensitive to the experiences of delinquent youth with histories of complex trauma.

“…However, the advent of specialized studies on criminal trajectories and life course persistent offending reflects that females are increasingly represented among Canadian Research Perspectives for Youth at Risk for Serious and Violent Offending: Implications for Crime Prevention Policies and Practices 174 offender typologies (Carr & Vandiver, 2001;Happanen, Britton, & Croisdale, 2007;Howell, 2003;Jennings, Moldonado-Molina, & Komro, 2010). Longitudinal studies suggest that a different set of factors predict male and female chronic reoffending (Sharkey, Furlong, Jimerson, & O'Brien, 2003;Trulson, Marquart, Mullings, & Caeti, 2005;Tyler, Johnson, & Brownridge, 2008). Along with gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status are common factors predicting offending and reoffending among youth, with both poverty and ethnic minority status being significantly linked to youth reoffending (Benda & Tollett, 1999;Livingston, Stewart, Allard, & Ogilvie, 2008;Trulson et al, 2005).…”

“…Jennings and colleagues (2010), in their study of criminal trajectories, suggest that spending greater amounts of time without parental supervision increased the likelihood of a youth being on a delinquent trajectory. A number of studies have also shown that poor family attachment (e.g., running away from home, not residing with parents) is more common among those youth who persistently reoffend Tyler et al, 2008).…”

This article presents findings of a retrospective longitudinal study of youth reoffending in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Increasingly, the examination of risk and protective factors in the youth reoffending literature is grouped into five general domains: individual, family, peer, school, and community. For purposes of the present study, data on each of these factors were obtained from interviews and probation file reviews for a sample of 123 youth who had various levels of involvement in the youth justice system. These baseline data were collected from July 2006 to July 2007. Reoffending was tracked for two years following the interview using police contact data. Descriptive findings indicated that, overall, youth who possessed risk factors in each domain had a higher average rate of reoffending. Stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that in the individual domain, a history of purchasing illegal drugs, stealing a car or motorcycle, and committing an assault with a weapon, as well as a diagnosis of ADD/ADHD, were significantly related to the extent of reoffending. In the peer domain, gang affiliation was significant. In the community domain, the presence of gangs in the community was significant. None of the predictors in the family or school domains were significant. Implications for future Canadian research are discussed.Key Words: youth, reoffending, risk factors, longitudinal study Acknowledgement: The authors would like to acknowledge the City of Calgary and the Alberta Law Foundation for funding this project.

Abstract:The relationship between childhood neglect and later life outcomes is an understudied topic. This study employs data from the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development, a longitudinal follow-up of 411 working-class males in London, to examine (a) the profiles of the boys who were neglected in childhood and (b) the relationship between childhood neglect and juvenile delinquency, controlling for other risk factors. Findings reveal that boys who were neglected in childhood were characterized by other adverse events in childhood. Childhood neglect predicted both self-reported and official offending in adolescence, although these effects eventually dissipated with the introduction of other measures of childhood risk. The odds ratios are particularly large for official offending, with the odds of juvenile conviction being over four times higher for individuals who were exposed to neglect in childhood when compared to those who were not. Neglect and other adverse childhood characteristics were more predictive of official offending than self-reported offending, suggesting potential stigmatization effects. Implications of these findings as well as priority areas for future research are discussed.
