“…One of the ingredients considered as important is the living environment of the young people in residential care (Harder and Knorth 2015). Accordingly, when young people are in a supportive and safe living environment which embodies therapeutic principles (Lipsey 2009), this could essentially contribute to better treatment outcomes (Heynen 2015;Schubert et al 2012;Van der Helm et al 2011).…”

“…Despite this focus on doing what is in the best interest of the child, it remains challenging to achieve and retain positive outcomes during and after the stay of children and young people in secure residential care (Harder 2011;Lambie and Randell 2013;Lipsey 2009). Therefore, it is important better to understand current practices, and subsequently to implement 'what works for whom' principles in residential care facilities (Lipsey 2009; Van der Helm et al 2009).…”

Perceived Living Conditions of Young People in Secure Residential Care: Psychometric Properties of the Best Interest of the Child − Self-Report Questionnaire (BIC-S)

The Best Interest of the Child − Self-report questionnaire (BIC-S) is designed as a tool to ensure young people in secure residential care have a voice about their living environment. The primary aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the BIC-S. Second, we wanted to map the experiences of young people with their current residential living environment. Therefore, both quantitative and qualitative methods were used to assess the experiences of young people with the BIC-S instrument in this cross-sectional study. Based on a sample of 74 young people staying in secure residential care in the Netherlands (2015), we explored the construct validity and reliability of the BIC-S through a Mokken Scale Analysis. The sample consisted of 38 boys and 36 girls (mean age 15.5). After evaluating the psychometric properties of the instrument, we focused on the experiences of young people with their current residential living environment. The results show that eleven out of the fourteen BIC-S conditions form a moderate scale to measure how young people perceive the quality of their living environment (H = .40; Rho = .86). With regard to the residential environment, the participants often raise issues which relate to personal safety, to activities within the institute, or to the relationship they have with care professionals. The results indicate that the BIC-S has the potential to serve as an instrument for young people to voice opinions on their living environment while in residential care.Keywords Construct validity .

“…Lipsey (2009) has conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis on interventions designed to reduce juvenile delinquency. His study differed from ours, however, in that it included a wide array of interventions beyond education 4 Kratochwill et al (2010) acknowledge the difficulty of presenting summary statistics for single-case design studies, where determinations of evidence are based on visual examination of trends rather than conventional hypothesis testing.…”

In past research, the best treatments of anger management training, jobs, and mentors have been shown to divert 25% to 37% of at-risk youth from court. Within Midwestern urban high schools located in crime-ridden areas, youth were given these treatments after fi rst being identifi ed as at-risk using a predictive regression equation comprising carefully chosen and relevant demographics, behaviors, and test scores. This regression of data from the perpetrators of 500 shootings replicated previous results from 4 other samples ( N s = 71, 30, 26, and 127) of those who had used fi rearms in homicides with matched control groups. Youth (who were expelled, academically failing, maladaptive, low in SES, previously arrested, suspended, truant, or underachieving) included 250 students in 6 high schools during 2009; 1,700 pupils in 38 high schools during 2010; 1,700 more in 38 high schools during 2011; and 1,200 others in 32 high schools during 2012. After treatment, homicides decreased by 32%, shootings by 46%, and assaults by 77%. This saved approximately 104 lives and $492 million dollars, with a Return on Investment ( ROI) = 6.42.Every community struggles with how to deal with violence. Researchers and scientists have confl icting, confusing, and contradictory explanations of violence, how to fi nd it, prevent it, and what it costs. However, there are three promising approaches for predic-1
