A meta-analysis of the effect of juvenile delinquency interventions on academic outcomes

Prevalence of psychiatric disorders among juvenile offenders in Malaysian prisons and association with socio-demographic and personal factors

“…Similar findings were noted in a study of Malaysian sex offenders where more than half of the offenders reported academic and behavioural difficulties during adolescence and having gravitated towards peers who often indulged in risky behaviours (Aili et al, 2012). Factors such as low cognitive ability, poor academic performance, weak attachment to school, little commitment to academic pursuits, dropping out of school are positively related to delinquency (Loeber et al, 1992;Foley, 2001;Baltonado et al, 2005;Christle et al, 2005) and later crime in both long and short term (Thornberry et al, 1985;Sander et al, 2012;Christle et al, 2005).

Intergenerational care as a viable intervention strategy for children at risk of delinquency

“…In a meta‐analysis of 15 reports on adolescent delinquency interventions, Sander et al. () found that when only adolescent delinquents participated, the results were less than encouraging. This may indicate that effective interventions need to be established in early childhood, prior to the development of severe delinquency.…”
