Factors in Assessing Recidivism Risk in Young Offenders

et al. 2020

The research aims to identify if the accumulation of protective and/or risk factors might predict the risk of recidivism in juvenile delinquents and determine the relative weight of both types of factors in the predictions themselves. The risk of criminal recidivism was assessed with the Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth—SAVRY—instrument based on a sample of 192 Adolescents in Conflict with the Law—ACLs—held in juvenile detention centers in the Valencian Community (Spain). The results show that protective variables have greater relative consistency than risk variables when assessing recidivism risk in ACLs. The paper’s findings enable advances in the identification of antisocial behavior patterns using positive variables, and this in turn involves modifying any intervention proposals made by professionals of juvenile justice because psycho-socio-educational processes can now be dealt with on the basis of the ACLs’ potentialities (protective factors) rather than their deficiencies (risk factors) alone.

“…According to Steinberg et al (2008) , sensation-seeking could have specific effects on deviant behavior. Thus the expression of a certain type of aggression could be mediated by individual factors ( Centifanti et al, 2015 ; Gázquez et al, 2015b ), cognitive and social processes ( Gifford-Smith and Rabiner, 2004 ; Monahan et al, 2009 ; Martínez-Loredo et al, 2016 ) and even characterization of the various expressions of aggression itself ( Stickle et al, 2012 ).…”

“…Such matters as substance use ( Gázquez et al, 2015a ) or how to interact with others ( Inglés et al, 2014 ) could thus become repertoires of problem behavior in adolescents. In addition to individual factors ( Gázquez et al, 2015b ; Valle et al, 2015 ), adopting certain risk and/or problem behaviors also depends on other family ( Martínez-Loredo et al, 2016 ) or peer group ( Monahan et al, 2009 ) factors which are determining for the construction of self-concept and personal wellbeing ( Nacimiento and Mora-Merchán, 2014 ; Álvarez et al, 2015 ; Azpiazua et al, 2015 ; Goñi et al, 2015 ).…”

Sensation-Seeking and Impulsivity as Predictors of Reactive and Proactive Aggression in Adolescents

et al. 2016

In adolescence, such matters as substance use and impulsiveness may give rise to problematic behavior repertoires. This study was therefore done to analyze the predictive value of sensation-seeking and impulsiveness dimensions related to the functions of aggression (reactive/proactive) and types of expression (physical/relational). A total of 822 high school students in Almeria (Spain) aged 13–18, were administered the Sensation-Seeking Scale, the State Impulsiveness Scale and Peer Conflict Scale. The results show the existence of a positive correlation of the majority of factors analyzed, both in impulsiveness and sensation-seeking, with respect to the different types of aggression. Furthermore, aggressive behavior is explained by the combination of a sensation-seeking factor (Disinhibition) and two impulsiveness factors (Gratification and Automatism). This study shows the need to analyze aggression as a multidimensional construct.

“…It may therefore be stated that aggressors have certain characteristics, among which the most important are impulsivity [36], hyperactive behavior patterns [37], low academic performance often leading to the student repeating a year [38], low levels of benevolence [39], and a strong tendency to be distracted or limited prosocial interaction [40]. This further influences academic performance negatively, as it has been found that high scores in prosocial behavior in high school students favors attitude, motivation exam preparation strategies, etc.…”

(1) Background: The purpose of this study was therefore to analyze the predictive capacity of the three variables (impulsivity, sensation-seeking and drug use) in aggressors and victims of violence. (2) Methods: The design is cross-sectional quasi-experimental. A sample of 822 students aged 13 to 18 who had filled in an ad hoc questionnaire, the State Impulsivity Scale and the Sensation-Seeking Scale, was used for this. (3) Results: The results show that aggressors had high levels of gratification, automatism, attentional factor, disinhibition and susceptibility to boredom, and use alcohol and/or tobacco. The variables that could predict involvement as an aggressor in peer conflict are use of alcohol, smoking, high levels of gratification, automatism and attentional factors and a high degree of disinhibition and susceptibility to boredom. The disinhibition is the best predictor of aggressor. (4) Conclusions: Thus having available empirical evidence that facilitates detection of predictive variables for participation in violence is going to favor the design of effective education intervention for reducing risk behavior.
