From Child Welfare to Jail: Mediating Effects of Juvenile Justice Placement and Other System Involvement

Abstract: This study examines the effects of child welfare, mental health, and drug/alcohol system experiences on jail involvement, as mediated by juvenile justice placement, for Black and White youth/young adults. The sample was comprised of individuals born between 1985 and 1994 with child welfare involvement in an urban Pennsylvania county ( N = 37,079) and an out-of-home placement (OOHP) subsample ( n = 8,317). Four path models were estimated (two full samples, two subsamples; separate models for Black and White you… Show more

“…American Indian families also are disproportionately reported for child abuse and neglect (Kim & Drake, 2019; Lawler et al, 2012). Additionally, early involvement in the courts through the child welfare system is associated with later involvement in the juvenile justice system, including for unexcused absenteeism (Goodkind et al, 2020). The legacy of educational coercion of American Indians also has resulted in distrust of public schools, which limits parent-staff communication and reinforces stereotypical staff assumptions about why American Indian students miss school (Bryk & Schneider, 2002).…”

“…The aim of this study is to expand existing literature on youth with adverse childhood experiences by examining the lingering effect of childhood maltreatment on juvenile recidivism and comparing the rates and risk factors for repeat offending between juvenile offenders with and without maltreatment histories. Prior research suggests that youth with adverse childhood experiences are at increased risk for delinquency than their counterparts without maltreatment (Barrett et al, 2014; Ryan et al, 2013, 2014) and they exhibit different sets of risk factors for recidivism (Goodkind et al, 2020; Lee & Villagrana, 2015). Such evidence directs us to compare maltreated juvenile offenders with their matched samples who were not maltreated for their repeat offending over a relatively longer period of follow-up than the previous research.…”

“…The disproportionate representation of racial and ethnic minority youth in the child welfare system magnifies these alarming figures . Historically, pervasive factors, such as negative social and political determinants of health and systemic racism, have driven the overrepresentation of youth of color in the US child welfare system, reflecting deeper societal inequities . This demographic nuance necessitates culturally sensitive approaches to behavioral health management.…”
