  • Assessing the Efficacy of a Family-Based Juvenile Court Intervention

    Open AccessNatasha Chlebuch, Alyssa LaBerge et al.ARTICLEJournal of Contemporary Criminal…2025

    A proliferation of parent and family-oriented interventions has emerged within the field of juvenile justice, aiming to reduce youth offending through better parenting practices. While there is robust evidence for the efficacy of a few model programs, many family interventions have received less empirical attention despite mixed evidence on their efficacy. This study aims to assess the efficacy of a voluntary parenting program (Family Support Ser…

  • Attitudes Toward Police and Judges of Latina Immigrants With a Justice-Involved Child

    Open AccessCaitlin Cavanagh, Alyssa LaBerge et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2025

    Immigrants who are undocumented or who have experienced the deportation of family members may perceive legal actors such as police and judges differently than immigrants who are legal residents. Among a sample of 117 Latina immigrant women in California whose sons were arrested, we found that women who were undocumented had more negative specific attitudes toward police (i.e., stemming from their experience during their son’s arrest), and women w…

  • Youth Perceptions of Juvenile Justice Facility Staff

    Open AccessAlyssa LaBerge, Jennifer Paruk et al.ARTICLECriminal Justice and Behavior2024

    Youth in juvenile justice facilities are at high risk of self-directed violence (SDV; suicide attempts and self-harm). Research shows that positive youth perceptions of adults are preventive against SDV among community youth, yet it is unknown whether this extends to detained youth. Using a large national dataset, the present study examines whether, at the facility level, youth perceptions of staff are associated with rates of youth SDV over time…

    Women, particularly mothers, have faced disparate socioeconomic consequences throughout the COVID‐19 pandemic. Research has yet to examine whether the consequences of the pandemic vary based on the level of neighborhood disorder, which is associated with various health conditions, including COVID‐19 complications. The present study utilizes data from a diverse sample of 221 women with justice‐involved sons interviewed during the early months of t…

  • Attitudes toward legal actors among dual system youth

    Open AccessCaitlin Cavanagh, Alyssa LaBerge et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2021Cited by: 3References: 69

    The role of contact with the child welfare system (CWS) in legal socialization is not well understood. This is particularly true of youth who have contact with both the juvenile justice system and the CWS, known as dual system (DS) youth. Furthermore, much of the legal socialization research excludes Latinx youth, for whom legal socialization may function differently. Is CWS contact, compared to—and in addition to—juvenile justice system contact,…
