“…In addition, while secure adoptees showed a well-integrated response to infant distress in young adulthood, insecure adoptees showed a deactivating strategy, revealed by dissociation between experiential and physiological arousal (Schoenmaker et al, 2015b). Finally, no associations were found between early attachment security, attachment disorganization, maternal sensitivity and the diurnal cortisol curve of adoptees at 23 years old (van der Voort et al, 2014).…”

“…Recent longitudinal attachmentbased studies on adoption and maternal sensitivity showed that more sensitive parenting -in infancy middle childhood, and/or adolescence-predicted continuity of secure attachment of adopted children from infancy to adolescence, less inhibited and delinquent behaviours in adolescence and secure attachment representations in young adulthood (Beijersbergen, Juffer, Bakermans-Kranenburg, & van IJzendoorn, 2012;Pace, Di Folco, Guerriero, Santona, & Terrone, 2015a;Schoenmaker et al, 2015a; IJzendoorn, 2013;van der Voort et al, 2014). In addition, while secure adoptees showed a well-integrated response to infant distress in young adulthood, insecure adoptees showed a deactivating strategy, revealed by dissociation between experiential and physiological arousal (Schoenmaker et al, 2015b).…”

A growing body of attachment literature has focused on bridging the gap between research and clinical applications, even in clinical work with adoptive families. A brief-term clinical intervention focused on a multi-method assessment of attachment relationships and representations was performed in the first year after placement. This single case study aimed at analysing the attachment outcomes, through a long-term follow-up, both for the adoptive mother and her late-adopted son. We assumed that this five-session attachmentoriented intervention could help the mother enhance her sensitivity skills and her ability to understand both her own past attachment experiences and her child's insecure attachment as a consequence of the failures of his previous experiences of care, supporting her sixyear old child in acquiring a positive image of himself and of others and the security of the caregiver's availability up to adolescence.

“…Parental sensitivity has been found to be associated with less delinquency in adolescence after controlling for effortful control in children (van der Voort et al 2013). These findings call into question whether sensitive parenting alone contributes to regulation, maintaining the "tolerance-window" within its optimal span of activation, and, ultimately, preventing the development of delinquent and aggressive behavior in children.…”

“…Many studies were not based on a general population sample, instead focusing on specific groups, such as criminal offenders (Schimmenti 2014;Lahlah 2013;Kimonis 2013;Simons 2008;Wileman 2008;Palmer 2007;Kiriakidis 2006). Eleven studies evaluated both male and female participants (Schimmenti 2014;Nunes 2013;van der Voort 2013;Delhaye 2012;Sousa 2011;Ingoglia 2011;Johnson 2011;Hiramura 2010;Day 2009;Tyler 2006;Heaven 2004), whereas six studies exclusively evaluated male participants (Lahlah 2013;Kimonis 2013;Simons 2008;Wileman 2008;Palmer 2007;Kiriakidis 2006). Most studies were quantitative; however, some studies employed a cross-sectional (Nunes 2013;Lahlah 2013;Kimonis 2013;Delhaye 2012;Ingoglia 2011;Hiramura 2010;Day 2009;Simons 2008;Palmer 2007;Kiriakidis 2006;Heaven 2004) or longitudinal design (van der Voort 2013;Sousa 2011;Johnson 2011;Tyler 2006).…”

“…As for the relationship between later parental support (beyond 17-24 years of age) and offending, Johnson et al (2011) found a modest negative effect; thus, the presence of parental support continued to influence lower offending into young adulthood. A mediating effect was also described by van der Voort et al (2013) when examining the longitudinal predictors of maternal sensitivity, temperament, and delinquent and aggressive behaviors in children. In that study, low levels of effortful control (self-regulation) in children were associated with increased delinquency and aggression.…”

and antisocial behavior in children and adolescents. Similar findings relate to experiences of emotional care; sensitivity, warmth and closeness were identified as important protective factors for these behaviors, whereas hostility, rejection and detachment were risk factors for the development of delinquent behaviors. Further, there is a suggested need to enhance parenting skills through program activities and address the internal working model of the child/adolescent through therapy to prevent/reduce the development of criminal and antisocial behavior in these vulnerable populations. The study ends with a discussion of needed research. Keywords Relational experiences · Criminal and antisocial behavior · Developmental trauma · Relational vulnerability IntroductionAttachment theory suggests that healthy development in children depends on having a responsive and sensitive attachment figure (Daniel et al. 2010). It is from this attachment relationship that the child forms an internal working model, which refers to the psychological construct through which the child views him-or herself and others and influences the affective components of behavior and interaction (Aldgate and Jones 2006;Bowlby 1969). It was established early on that delinquent behavior could originate based on a child's experiences within his or her family; for example, mother-child separation during the first 5 years of life has been demonstrated to be associated with persistent stealing (Bowlby 1950, p. 572). Later, different styles of attachment were identified, typically categorizing infants as secure or insecure, with insecure infants commonly divided into insecure/avoidant, insecure/ambivalent and disorganized Abstract A large proportion of children and youth are growing up in harmful caring environments that can affect their behavioral strategies later in life. Despite the existing of an extensive literature regarding prevalence, characteristics of delinquent and criminal behavior, as well as, individual and environmental risk factors, there are gaps that remains unexplained regarding this problem. There is little evidence about what is known about the relational experiences in children and adolescents and the development of criminal and antisocial behavior. This scoping review was developed to address the matter of criminal and antisocial behavior by analyzing how this is associated with children and adolescent's relational experiences with primary caregivers. In addition, the review examines recommendations provided in this field regarding intervention strategies to prevent or reduce the prevalence of delinquent behaviors. A total of 528 studies were identified in the databases of ProQuest, Web of Science (Core Collection) and PsychINFO. After applying the exclusion and inclusion criteria, 17 published studies were included in the analysis. The results show the presence of an association between the experience of physical and sexual abuse and the occurrence of criminal (Ainsworth et al. 1978;Daniel et al. 2010).
