Profiles of behavioral health service utilization among youth involved in the juvenile legal system
The association between parent, peer, and youth emotional and behavioral factors in substance use among youth with truancy petitions involved in the juvenile legal system
The present study examined the relative contributions of peer, parent, and youth emotional and behavioral factors to alcohol and cannabis use behaviors among youth with a truancy petition referred to the juvenile legal system (JLS). Identifying modifiable targets for intervention among youth with early JLS contact is critical given that adolescent substance use, particularly alcohol use and alcohol-related problems, are salient predictors of cont…

The Mediating Role of Alcohol Use Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Delinquency Among Youth in the Legal System
Rates of alcohol use and exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are elevated among youth in the legal system (YILS) compared to their non-legally involved peers. Exposure to ACEs has been associated with later alcohol use and delinquency, and YILS often engage in delinquent behavior while under the influence of alcohol. The associations between ACEs, alcohol use, and delinquency among YILS are complex and multidirectional; research has …
Is Parental Monitoring Associated With Behavioural Health Services Utilization for Juvenile Legal System‐Involved Youth
The present study sought to examine whether aspects of parental monitoring were associated with the use of any behavioural health supports and the types of supports used among youth with juvenile legal system (JLS) involvement. JLS‐involved youth have high rates of behavioural health concerns, and their parents are typically tasked with accessing supports for these concerns. Parental monitoring may play a key role in helping parents recognize the…
Identifying gaps in mental health service and supports utilization among minoritized youth with mental health concerns in the juvenile legal system
The association between thought disturbance and suicidal ideation within and across ethnoracial groups of juvenile legal system-involved youth
Non-suicidal self-injury, suicidal behaviors, and mental health symptoms among sexual minority youth with juvenile justice system involvement
The intersection of adverse childhood experiences and mental health concerns for youth involved in the child welfare system
The present study sought to identify if there is distinct mental health symptomology among child welfare-involved youth depending on the category of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) endorsed. A chart review of child welfare-involved youth (N = 129, ages 8-16) and caregiver reported ACEs and mental health/trauma symptoms was conducted. A K-means cluster analysis used ACE scores to identify groups of youth along two dimensions: household dysfun…
Risk and Protective Factors Associated with Self-Cutting Behavior Among Adolescents at First Contact with the Juvenile Court
Adolescents involved in juvenile legal system are at increased risk for self-cutting behavior, however, correlates associated with elevated risk remain underresearched, particularly among youth with first involvement with the court. This study utilized an epidemiological two-year longitudinal study involving 401 adolescents at first contact with the court ( M age = 14.47; SD age = 1.94 years; 43% female; 42% Latinx/Hispanic) and an involved careg…
Early Identification of Suicide Risk Factors Among Justice-Involved Youth
Suicidal thoughts and behaviors among juvenile justice populations are elevated. However, the characteristics of justice-involved youth who consider and attempt suicide are not well understood. This study examined suicidal ideation and attempt with first-time, preadjudicated diverted youth, and the relationship with commonly associated risk factors. The sample included 135 youth (50% male, M age = 14.48) that provided complete responses to self-r…
The effect of sexual concerns on placement changes and school transfers for youth in the child welfare system
Sexting and behavioral health in first-time justice-involved adolescents
Feasibility and acceptability of a brief suicide intervention for youth involved with the family court
As efforts to develop models for suicide prevention and intervention in the juvenile justice (JJ) system continue to grow, research to understand the feasibility and acceptability of implementing these models is critical. Examining organizational readiness for implementation, ensuring leadership and staff buy‐in for delivering the intervention, and planning for sustainability of staff participation in implementation efforts is essential. The curr…
The Political Economy of Regulation
Race, Ethnicity, Class and Urban Spatial Conflict
The research reported in this paper is an attempt to unravel the conflicting descriptions and explanations of black-ethnic political relations in cities. Three conflicting within-city models of white political behavior vis a vis blacks were explicated and tested using Chicago as a 'crucial test' case study. Little support was found for either the 'group competition' or 'class politics' models. The findings did support the Downs-Williams 'spatial …

Accidents, Scandals, and Political Support for Regulatory Agencies
Numerous scholars have observed that accidents and scandals have had an impact on support for regulatory policies and agencies in Congress and the White House. There has been, however, no systematic attempt to determine their impact. In the research reported here, the effect of accidents and scandals was tested using budgetary data for three regulatory agencies: the Securities and Exchange Commission (1947-80), the Federal Communications Commissi…
