“…In a study conducted by Erbay and Gülüm (2018), it was found that the risk factors of children prosecuted with criminal charges fall into two main groups. In the first group, there are factors that can be evaluated in the category of individual reasons such as running away from home, self-harm, drug use, dropping out of school.…”

Introduction: The involvement of children in violent crimes as a perpetrator gets the attention of both researchers and society. The purpose of the study is to identify the risk factors that distinguish juveniles in terms of violent crime. The criminal behavior children were examined in two categories in this study. The first category is composed of non-violent crimes against individuals such as larcency, drug use, opposition to the law of meetings and demonstrations. The second category consists of crimes involving intensive violence against individuals such as armed robbery, felonious injury, murder, and sexual assault. Method: Within the scope of the study 940 court files of the juveniles, which are adjudicated between 2015 and 2019 in the Istanbul Courthouse Jurisdiction, were selected randomly. Available information about children in the court file recorded retrospectively. Individual (gender, age at the date of crime, substance use, working in a job, self-harming behavior, run away from home and previous crime history) and social risk factors (duration of education, risky peer, parental education level, working parent, parental crime history, family type, number of siblings, sibling crime history, sibling substance abuse, domestic violence, sharing problems with the family, total monthly income of the family, domestic migration) was compiled using binary coding system. The factors affecting violent crime were determined by logistic regression analysis. Findings: It was found that individual risk factors consist of being male gender, age at the date of crime, substance use, working in a job and run away from home. Whereas the context of social risk factors, it was found that the father's job, father's history of crime and not sharing personal troubles with the family predicted violent crimes. When the researchers put both groups into analysis at the same time, they found that being male gender, age at the date of crime, working in a job, a runaway from home, domestic violence, sharing personal problems with the family have predicted violence. Result: As a result, both individual and social risk factors have been found effective in dragging children to violent crimes.

“…One observes that overall, the literature focuses on adolescence as a period associated with children who become involved in crime ( Brugman and Aleva, 2004 ; Güçlü and Akbaş, 2019 , p. 323; Ögel, 2014 ) or display early-onset behavior problems ( Shader, 2001 ; Fergusson et al, 2005 ). In addition, scholars have researched how the following relating to juvenile crime or victimization: psychiatric disorders ( Pratt et al, 2002 ; Moore et al, 2013 ), family structure ( Köknel, 2001 ; Thompson and Bynum, 2016 ), parenting characteristics ( Loeber, 1990 ; Wright and Cullen, 2001 ), substance use ( Assink et al, 2015 ; Belenko et al, 2017 ), social problems ( Farrington and Welsh, 2008 ; Neto, 2009 ; Gönültaş and Kelebek, 2017 ), friendship relationships ( Gül and Güneş, 2009 ; Susanu, 2019 ; Walters, 2019 ), and educational experiences ( Maguin and Loeber, 1996 ; Cullen et al, 2008 ; Erbay and Gülüm, 2018 ).…”

IntroductionThe increasing inclusion of children in the criminal justice system as “juvenile offenders” and “juvenile victims” has recently emerged as a severe and multifaceted problem. This study evaluates whether juvenile offenders differ from juveniles who have not participated in the criminal justice system and juvenile victims regarding executive function skills and attentional bias.MethodThe participant group comprised 85 children aged 12–18, and the study setting was Turkey, utilizing one control group and two treatment groups with open criminal case files in Antalya Courthouse. The first treatment group consisted of 30 juvenile offenders; the second consisted of 30 juvenile victims. The control group consisted of 25 juveniles who were not juvenile offenders or victims. In this context, children’s executive functions were measured with the short-form Barratt Impulsivity Scale, the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices Test, the TBAG-form Stroop test, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, and the Istanbul 5 Cube Planning Test. Attentional bias was measured using a dot-probe task. Illiteracy, intellectual or developmental disability, and being a non-native Turkish speaker were the exclusion criteria for all three groups.ResultsThe study found that the scores of the juvenile offender group on the Barratt Impulsivity Scale were significantly higher than the children in the juvenile victim group and the children in the control group. For other tests measuring executive functions, the control group’s scores were significantly higher than juvenile offenders and juvenile victims. Regarding attentional bias, the children in the control group exhibited less attentional bias to negative stimuli than the juvenile offenders and victims.DiscussionResearchers have generally addressed the reasons that push children to crime and become victims of crime through individual, familial, and environmental reasons. However, the number of studies investigating the neuropsychological characteristics of children dragged into crime is relatively limited in our country. In addition, there is no study comparing the executive functions and attentional bias of children who are dragged into crime, victimized children, and children without a history of being dragged into crime and victimization. In this context, this study can highlight important implications for the judicial system regarding juvenile delinquency interventions.
