Lived Experiences of Egyptian Female Juvenile Delinquents: Phenomenological Approach

“…Relationship strain explains the majority of girls' delinquent behavior, where major types of relationship strain are familial strain, and frenemy strain (Garcia & Lane, 2012). Criminal victimization identified as among the types of strain that are most likely to lead to delinquency (Hay & Evans, 2006).…”

“…Concerning familial strain, the current study participants had deficient / destructive family lives where the source of the deficiency is: family structure, youngsters not living with two of their (biological) parents showed more delinquent behavior than adolescents who are living with both of their parents (Weijters et al, 2009); disintegrated family life, when the family was disrupted, females were more likely to engage in delinquent behavior (Hollist et al, 2009); risky context, parental deviance, drug abuse, and family criminality are significant in the development of delinquency in adolescents (Kelly, 2011); parental strain, when problems in the parent-child relationship increase the void that is left in the absence of a healthy bond may be filled with associations conducive to attitudes and values favorable to delinquency (Garcia & Lane, 2012); and economic problems, many findings indicate that the spatial distribution of crime is linked with the amount of poverty within an area, so the higher the level of economic deprivation, the higher the level of delinquency and crime (Trogdon, 2006).

College Aspirations Among Incarcerated Juvenile Offenders: The Importance of Maternal Education and Neglect

“…A total of 252 juveniles were interviewed. Although data were collected among a nonprobability sample of juvenile offenders, characteristics of the study sample are representative of previous studies of residentially incarcerated youth nationally, with regard to average age, race, and social, behavioral, and delinquency histories (Caldwell, McCormick, Wolfe, & Umstead, 2012; Garcia & Lane, 2012; Reynolds, Tarter, Kirisci, & Clark, 2011; Sedlak & Bruce, 2010; Trulson, Haerle, DeLisi, & Marquart, 2011).…”

Not just another focus group: making the case for the nominal group technique in criminology

“…For example, it is used to study the ideas and perceptions of professionals working in the criminological field (see, among others, Douglas & Cuskelly, 2012;Kaye et al 2014), ideas and perceptions of the general public and young people on crime and the justice system (Boda & Szabo, 2011;Dirikx et al 2012), and perceptions of professionals on sensitive topics such as police peer retaliation (Cancino & Enriquez, 2004) and the use of force by the police (Klukkert et al 2009). It has been regularly applied to study sensitive topics such as abuse, violence, drug use and sex work and the populations -victims, offenders and prisoners -involved (see among others Wachholz & Miedema, 2000;Surratt et al 2004;Garcia & Lane 2012).…”
