Two-Level, Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the Single Factor Savry Individual/Clinical Risk Measure Across Mississippi Juvenile Court Jurisdictions
The Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY), widely used to assess risk and protective factors among justice-involved youth, demonstrates predictive validity with regard to recidivism. At the individual level, the dynamic Individual/Clinical Risk Factor of the SAVRY has previously demonstrated consistent form across gender and race among Mississippi justice-involved youth. Little is known about the factor structure of the Individu…
Trauma-Informed Understanding of Depression Among Justice-Involved Youth
The association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and depression has been the focus of a number of prevalent studies in recent years-particularly among high-risk youth. Depression remains a significant mental health issue among justice-involved youth. There is a well-established correlation between depressed mood and conduct problems (e.g., conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder) during childhood and adolescence, which tend…
Assessment of a Second-Order Multi-Problem Factor Model Involving Sexual Partners, Marijuana Use, and Post-Arrest Placement Among Persistent Male Adolescent Delinquents
Problem-behavior theory suggests problem behaviors (e.g. substance use and delinquency) cluster among adolescents. This study explored a second-order problem behavior model of marijuana use, sexual partners, and post-arrest juvenile justice system placement among male adolescents over three waves. Results confirmed a second-order latent factor of problem behaviors, with male adolescents persistently involved in the juvenile justice system experie…
Longitudinal Cohort Study
Many juvenile justice agencies have moved toward risk-need-responsivity and risk-need-assessment approaches to manage youth and reduce future risk of recidivism. The Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY) instrument is a popular tool to assess risk and protective factors among justice-involved youth. The present study explored the consistency of the Individual/Clinical Risk measure, comprised of eight items (e.g., anger, negative…
Subgroups of Persistent Juvenile Offenders
Many juvenile justice agencies rely on risk assessments to inform administrative decisions about youth placement. While many studies within recent years have explored patterns in criminal offending over time, little research has explored the heterogeneity in youth placement decisions by the juvenile justice system. There is a need to document the patterns, levels, and trends in offense risk among youth entering and reentering the justice system. …
Prosecutor Decision-Making Following Juvenile Life Without Parole Sentencing Reform
Prosecutors play an integral role in implementing sentencing reform measures in the United States. Following the Supreme Court’s recent restrictions of the use of life without parole sentences for juveniles (JLWOP), county prosecutors in Michigan were tasked with initiating resentencing proceedings by filing sentencing motions for individuals who were currently serving JLWOP (so-called “juvenile lifers”). These motions intimated whether, followin…
Longitudinal associations between a health risk factor and juvenile justice placement among persistent juvenile offenders
Health criminology explores the connection between crime and health factors. Less is understood about longitudinal health risks and adolescents entering the juvenile justice system. This study used a sample of n = 388 males involved in the juvenile justice system to examined longitudinal associations of a latent health risk factor, comprised of depression, marijuana use, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), with post‐juvenile assessment ce…
Jail Officers’ Adherence to Traditional Bases of Social Power
Scholars have investigated the social sources of power that correctional officers embrace as their means of control over people who are incarcerated. However, this work has been conducted with community correctional officers and those working in state prisons, with almost no attention to officers who work in local jails. Jails are distinctive in ways that may be important for the bases of power on which officers may draw, and the current study an…
Commentary on Campbell et al.’s “Creating a University Strategic Plan to Address Relationship Violence and Sexual Misconduct”
Campbell et al. provided a candid summary of a long-term strategic plan to address relationship violence and sexual misconduct (RVSM) at Michigan State University (MSU). Coming in the aftermath of a national scandal and public outcry regarding MSU's lack of response to RVSM on its campus, the authors describe a coordinated university community response to understanding the prevalence of RVSM on campus, developing policy to respond to RVSM, and re…
Assessing the Validity of Self-Reports of Marijuana Use among Adolescents Entering the Juvenile Justice System
Objective: Scant research exists on the validity of self-reported marijuana use using biological assays among adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system. This exploratory study examined gender (sex) differences in underreporting of marijuana use and the impact of age, race/ethnicity, living situation, depression, family problems, sexual risk behaviors, previous drug treatment, and juvenile justice placement. Methods: Self-reports of past…
An Examination of Risk Profiles among Justice-Involved Girls
Studies addressing risk factors among justice-involved girls in rural areas remain a neglected area of research. Following an intersectional framework, the current study examines the patterning of a broad range of risk factors and health needs, across urban and rural contexts, among arrested African American, Hispanic, and white females who participated in a public health service. Results from a latent class analysis suggest significant differenc…
An Examination of Gender Differences in Bullying among Justice-involved Adolescents
Most studies of bullying rely on school-based samples of youth; however, a few studies of justice-involved populations suggest delinquent youth experience higher rates of bullying than youth in the general population. Little is known about gender differences in bullying among justice-involved youth. Using data from a Health Coach service project for justice-involve youth implemented at two intake facilities, 312 female and 857 male newly arrested…
Testing the generality of an internal power theory of interpersonal violence across sex and race/ethnicity
Recently, Wagers articulated a theory of internal power to explain intimate partner violence (IPV). Internal power is conceptualized as comprising five domains: self-concept clarity, self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-determination, and mastery. Individuals with high internal power are expected to engage in little to no IPV. The present study tested measurement invariance of the internal power instrument across sex and race/ethnicity using a sample…
Individual- and Community-Level Factors in the STD Status of Justice-Involved Youth
Complainant's physical attractiveness and juristic judgments of blame and punishment in physical, domestic, and sexual assault scenarios
Extralegal factors, including physical attractiveness, may bias juristic opinions. The present study provided 450 university students with hypothetical scenarios of physical, domestic, and sexual assault in which complainant's attractiveness and other legal and extralegal characteristics were independently varied. Results indicate complainant's attractiveness mattered in sexual assault scenarios only for guilt of the defendant, but not for physic…
Life or Death
A significant body of scholarship addresses Justice Thurgood Marshall’s hypothesis regarding the nature of death penalty public opinion. However, much of this research is based on hypothetical scenarios or general classroom experiences versus real-world examples of the capital punishment process. The present study evaluates the power of the Marshall Hypothesis through a classroom exercise where students are exposed to the trial and punishment tra…
Fear of retaliation and citizen willingness to cooperate with police
Qualitative research has shown that fear of retaliation influences an individual’s willingness to cooperate with the police. This research has shown that those who are fearful of being retaliated against are less likely to cooperate with the police (Clayman, C. and Skinns, L., 2012. To snitch or not to snitch? An exploratory study of the factors influencing whether young people actively cooperate with the police. Policing and society: an internat…
Perceived risk of crime
A particular source of anxiety for many immigrants is personal safety. This study examines the levels and correlates of perceived risk of crime among two understudied immigrant groups, Arab and Chinese immigrants, who resided in an understudied geographic area, the Detroit metropolitan area. Results suggested several universal and immigrants-specific correlates that are significant predictors of Arab and/or Chinese immigrants' perceptions of crim…
A Comparison of the Batterer Intervention and Prevention Program With Alternative Court Dispositions on 12-Month Recidivism
Studies of batterer intervention and prevention programs (BIPPs) offer mixed results regarding their effect on recidivism. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of BIPP for cases assigned to a misdemeanor family court. This study focused on determining whether BIPP cases, compared with alternative sanctions, had significantly lower recidivism rates 12 months after program involvement. Findings indicated that BIPP was more eff…
Does controlling for comorbidity matter? DSM‐oriented scales and violent offending in chicago youth
Mental health problems have long been linked to antisocial behaviors. Despite an impressive body of literature demonstrating this relationship and claims that comorbidity matters, few studies examine comorbidity using multiple distinct mental health indicators, with most studies instead adopting single or composite mental health measures. This study tested separate and comorbid effects of five DSM‐oriented mental health issues on self‐reported vi…
