Exposure to Violence and Fighting in Juvenile Detention
This study examines associations among exposure to violence, feeling unsafe, and fighting behavior within juvenile detention. Using data from the Northwestern Juvenile Project ( N = 389), generalized structural equation modeling was used to assess whether feeling unsafe was associated with the relationship between exposure to physical violence during detention and fighting behavior. Exposure to violence was significantly associated with both feel…
Stay-At-Home Does Not Mean Safe-At-Home
Adapting to the Disconnection
OBJECTIVE: As school shootings and youth gun violence continue to rise in the United States, it is imperative to identify risk factors linked to gun carrying among adolescents. This study examines the relationship between perceived school alienation and the likelihood of adolescents carrying a gun to school. Specifically, it tests whether school alienation increases adolescent inclination to carry a gun to school. METHODS: This study used an all-…
Does Procedural Justice Matter in Probation? Investigating the Relationship Between Procedural Just Treatment and Law-Abiding Behavior Among a Sample of High-Risk Offenders
Community supervision programs are instrumental for reducing the prison population and successfully reintegrating offenders back into society. Prior literature suggests that supportive relationships between legal authorities and their clients may foster law-abiding behavior. Using data from the Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI) program (N = 781), the current study investigates whether fair (procedurally just) treatment by co…
Officer Gender and Procedural Injustice
Perceptions of policing are shaped by the subculture of hypermasculinity in law enforcement. Consequently, the behavior of women police officers may face increased public scrutiny. This study employs role congruity and procedural justice theories to experimentally assess the effects of procedurally un just treatment on favorability towards women police officers among a college-based sample ( N = 525). In general, female participants were signific…
You are the Father
Pregnancy rates among adolescents have declined in the United States since the early 1990s. Despite the steady decline, adolescent pregnancy and parenthood remain risk factors for negative outcomes associated with youth development, education, and behavioral health. To date, most research on adolescent parenthood has focused heavily on the challenges faced by adolescent mothers, while rarely examining the adverse effects of parenthood for adolesc…
On Gangs and Family
Research rarely explores the link between family and the gang directly. This is an important oversight, because family plays important and dynamic roles in the development of gangs, gang members, and gang careers. Marginalized or otherwise troubled primary families (i.e., families of origin) tend to push youth toward gangs. Later in life, the responsibilities of secondary families (i.e., created families) tend to pull young adults out of or away …
Teen Pregnancy, Depression, and Substance Abuse
General Strain Theory (GST) suggests that individuals who experience strain are pressured into criminal and deviant behavior. Consistent with GST, the current study assesses the relationship between strain in the form of teenage pregnancy and substance use behavior, specifically alcohol problems and marijuana use. In addition, deviant peer association is a robust predictor of criminal behavior, therefore, we also investigate the role of deviant p…
Examining the “Gang Penalty” in the Juvenile Justice System
There are hundreds of thousands of juvenile gang members in the United States who are at heightened risk of criminal offending, violent victimization, and incarceration. Importantly, however, incarceration in itself is a lifelong risk factor for negative social outcomes. That said, little is known about the effects of gang membership on the sentencing outcomes of juvenile offenders. The primary research question of the current study is: How does …
