“…Conversely, the CALD group experienced less social disadvantage and participants were more likely to commit violent offenses such as homicide and aggravated sexual assault (Kenny & Lennings, 2007). Although literature on the criminal pathways of CALD populations in Australia is sparse, extant research describes the detachment from society from not belonging, which potentially diminishes allegiance to the country and fosters antisocial attitudes (Collins & Reid, 2009; Noble & Poynting, 2010; Tyson & Hubert, 2003; Wundersitz, 2010). Other literature on criminal justice issues in CALD communities has identified a lack of awareness of the law as a key problem that could be associated with difficulties with police and perceptions of racism.…”

Systematized risk assessment and management in juveniles is still in its infancy, and the bulk of the validation literature focuses on males as they account for a significant proportion of crime. In recent years there has been growing recognition that female arrest rates and convictions are steadily increasing and that there is a need to ensure that risk assessment tools that have been validated with males are appropriate for females, who may have different criminal trajectories. The applicability of violence risk assessment tools for ethnically diverse populations has not been extensively examined, but the limited literature suggests that there may be differences in scores for risk and protective factors across ethnic groups. To address this subject, a review of the literature on the predictive validity of current juvenile risk assessment tools was performed. This summary produced equivocal findings and a requirement for further investigation comprising cohorts with greater diversity.

“…Regarding the impact of cultural orientation on substance use, existing evidence tends to show that collectivistic orientation is a protective factor, whereas individualistic orientation is a risk factor (Johnson, 2007 ; Le, Goebert, & Wallen, 2009 ; Lin, Wu, & Detels, 2011 ; Sue, Zane, & Ito, 1979 ). There may be multiple mechanisms through which cultural orientation can influence substance use, such as parental monitoring (Tyson & Hubert, 2002 , 2003 ; Wong, Klingle, & Price, 2004 ) and peer affiliation (Le et al, 2009 ).…”

The current study aimed to investigate the impact of individualism, collectivism, and hopelessness on substance use. Hopelessness was hypothesized as a mediator between individualism and substance use, and between collectivism and substance use. We tested the hypothesis using a survey of 641 young rural-to-urban migrants in China. Consistent with our hypotheses, individualistic orientation predicted increased hopelessness and subsequently predicted more substance use, whereas collectivistic orientation was associated with decreased hopelessness and subsequently predicted less substance use. Hopelessness fully mediated the relations between individualism and substance use and between collectivism and substance use. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings were discussed.
