Ethnic Differences in Offense Patterns and the Prevalence and Impact of Risk Factors for Recidivism

“…There is no consensus among researchers on the extent to which the differences in official crime records are a reflection of actual differences in criminality between ethnic groups, or whether these figures reflect differences in the approaches of judicial authorities (Devine, Coolbaugh, & Jenkins, 1998; Lauritsen, 2003; Loeber & Farrington, 2004). Van der Laan and Blom (2011) compared official data with self-report data, and found that Surinamese and Antillean youth reported more offenses than Dutch youth, which is in line with official data, whereas Moroccan and Turkish youth reported less offenses than Dutch youth, which is contrary to official data. However, research has shown that Turkish and Moroccan youth tend to underreport their problem behavior (Junger, 1989; Stevens et al, 2003; Van der Laan & Blom, 2011).…”

“…Fourth, we were unable to measure the extent to which socially desirable responding occurred in the different ethnic groups, because we used previously collected data. Earlier research has shown that Turkish and especially Moroccan youth underreport their problem behavior (Junger, 1989; Stevens et al, 2003; Van der Laan & Blom, 2011). The high percentage of juveniles who denied having committed the current offense in the Moroccan group in our study is also an indication that the juveniles in this group underreported their problems, which might have affected the strengths of the found correlations.…”

General Offending and Intimate Partner Violence Perpetration in Young Adulthood: A Dutch Longitudinal Study

“…Second, general offending and IPV perpetration may have been under-reported in this study, especially among Moroccan young adults ( Stevens et al, 2003 ; Van der Laan & Blom, 2011 ). Third, the CTS2 was used in this study to measure IPV perpetration, but there are debates over the extent to which this instrument can accurately measure IPV ( Dobash et al, 1992 ).…”

Stability of post-treatment functioning after residential treatment: The perceptions of parents and adolescents

“…The prevalence of behavior problems in general population samples is approximately 16% (Bot et al, 2013;Roberts, Attkinson, & Rosenblatt, 1998). Fewer than 1% of the adolescents do not have a place to live (Jeeninga, 2010), only 3% do not attend school or work (www.nji.nl), and 33-40% have had police contacts (Van der Laan & Blom, 2011;Van der Laan, Blom, Verwers, & Essers, 2006; see also Moffitt, Caspi, Dickson, Silva, & Stanton, 1996;Nagin & Tremblay, 1999) and 5% use soft drugs (Trimbos Instituut, 2011). Furthermore, almost all adolescents have a good social network (Central Bureau of Statistics, 2009) and 80% are satisfied about their life (Ter Bogt, van Dorsselaer, & Vollebergh, 2003).…”
