Cumulative Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Recidivism: A Meta-Analysis
This meta-analysis quantitatively synthesizes existing literature to investigate the relationship between aggregations of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and recidivism among court-involved youth and adults. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed, and moderation analyses were conducted. Sixteen studies (published n = 12), encompassing 101,778 unique participants (girls/women = 21.1%; adult…
Youth views of community needs: A photovoice collaboration
Criminal Justice and Community Psychology: Our Values and Our Work—The Introduction to the Special Issue
This special issue of The American Journal of Community Psychology originated from the Society for Community Research and Action Criminal Justice interest group, with a goal of exploring the work of community psychologists intersecting with criminal justice research, practice, and policy and shaped by our shared values—equity, collaboration, creative maladjustment, social justice, and social science in the service of social justice. In this intro…
Voluntary uptake and continuation of treatment among court-involved youth: Lessons learned from the implementation of Functional Family Therapy in a community setting
What Differences Do They See? Using Mixed Methods to Capture Adolescent Perceptions of Neighborhood Contexts
Recent neighborhood research emphasizes the importance of individuals’ perceptions of their neighborhoods, as well as expands the definition of “neighborhood” to include the different contexts encountered during routine daily activities (Coulton et al., 2013; Kwan, 2012). The present study uses qualitative interviews, sketch mapping, and survey data to explore adolescents’ experiences of different neighborhoods within their activity space. Partic…
Seeds of change: A qualitative case study of a neighborhood youth program
Even within economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, programs fostering protective factors can shape youth outcomes. One positive youth development (PYD) program— Seeds of Change—employs teenagers in an urban neighborhood in Ohio and uses goats and community gardens to promote adolescent development. The current study used semi‐structured interviews with adolescents ( N = 7, ages 16–20) to conduct a case study of the program. The case study desc…
How adolescents define their home neighborhoods conceptually and spatially
To advance person‐centered methods of operationalizing youths’ social environment, we explored adolescents’ definitions of “home neighborhood” by integrating narrative data with geographic information systems. We gathered data using semi‐structured interviews and sketch maps with 55 adolescents aged 11–19 (78% African–American) in urban neighborhoods. We analyzed transcripts for themes through an iterative coding process and geocoded neighborhood…

Peer Delinquency and Where Adolescents Spend Time With Peers: Mediation and Moderation of Home Neighborhood Effects on Self‐reported Delinquency
Collective efficacy is one construct explaining how neighborhood social processes lead to local outcomes, such as crime rates. Collective efficacy has been shown to be mediated by other social influences, such as peer influences, in predicting delinquency. However, existing studies do not always clearly distinguish between the neighborhood where delinquent adolescents reside and other important neighborhoods when assessing collective efficacy. Th…
Peer Substance Use and Homelessness Predicting Substance Abuse from Adolescence Through Early Adulthood
Adolescents who experience homelessness are at higher risk for abusing substances, and for being exposed to substance‐using peers. The current study used a longitudinal design to track substance abuse, affiliation with substance‐using peers, and episodes of homelessness among a sample of 223 adolescents who were housed at the baseline data collection and 148 adolescents who were housed at baseline. Participants were interviewed at six waves over …
College Students’ Perceptions of Collective Efficacy: Results From a Nonurban Sample
Although the relationship between neighborhood characteristics and collective efficacy is well established in urban populations with community samples, it is unclear if this relationship holds in rural areas. The current study fills this gap by assessing the perceptions of adolescents from nonurban areas to examine the relationships between neighborhood characteristics and collective efficacy in areas with lower population density. Our sample com…
Predicting overt and covert antisocial behaviors: Parents, peers, and homelessness
Parental deviance, parental monitoring, and deviant peers were examined as predictors of overt and covert antisocial behaviors. Homeless ( N =231) and housed ( N =143) adolescents were assessed in adolescence and again in early adulthood. Homelessness predicted both types of antisocial behaviors, and effects persisted in young adulthood. Parental deviance predicted only overt antisocial behaviors in adolescence, and was fully mediated by parental…
Community violence and externalizing problems: Moderating effects of race and religiosity in emerging adulthood
The present study examined racial differences in the relationship between exposure to community violence and public and private religiosity in predicting externalizing problems among at‐risk emerging adults. Participants were 178 African American and 163 European American emerging adults at risk for exposure to community violence. Exposure to community violence related to more externalizing problems. Greater public religious affiliation buffered …
Homelessness in Europe and the United States: A Comparison of Prevalence and Public Opinion
Random samples of 250–435 adults were interviewed by telephone in five different nations (N= 1,546): Belgium, Germany, Italy, the UK, and the United States. The interview included questions on respondent attitudes, knowledge, and opinions regarding homelessness; respondents' own personal experiences with homelessness and homeless people; and demographic characteristics of the respondents. The highest rates for lifetime literal homelessness were f…
Homelessness in the United States: Assessing Changes in Prevalence and Public Opinion, 1993–2001
A national survey was administered in 1993–1994 ( N = 360) and repeated in 2001 ( N = 435) to assess the prevalence of homelessness as well as attitudes, opinions and knowledge regarding homelessness. No significant changes in prevalence were found, despite a strong US economy during most of the 7–8 year period. Respondents in 2001 had less stereotyped views of homeless people and were more supportive of services, but came to see homelessness as …
Homelessness in the US and Germany: A cross‐national analysis
A public opinion survey was administered by telephone to nationally representative samples in the US and Germany to assess prevalence of homelessness as well as attitudes, opinions and knowledge regarding homelessness. Lower prevalence rates were found in Germany as compared with the US. German respondents demonstrated higher levels of general compassion, greater support for the public rights of the homeless, a greater tendency to view the homele…
Social and Emotional Learning: A Framework for Promoting Mental Health and Reducing Risk Behavior in Children and Youth
Many programs have been developed to help schools enhance students' health and reduce the prevalence of drug use, violence, and high‐risk sexual behaviors. How should educators choose among these? This article describes selection criteria based on theory, research, and best educational practice that identify key social and emotional learning (SEL) competencies and program features. The SEL competencies for students include 17 skills and attitudes…
