Disabled Youth Transitioning from Care
Many countries across the globe have enacted leaving care policy to make provision for transition planning and aftercare support for care-leavers who face significant challenges in adulthood. However, the extent to which care-leaver policy addresses the unique needs of disabled youth leaving care is not known. This paper seeks to address this gap in knowledge by analysing care-leaver policy in four countries (United States, United Kingdom, Norway…

Exploring positive developmental outcomes for youth adjudicated in the juvenile justice system
Given the limited information on positive developmental outcomes for youth after justice system involvement, the present study aimed to identify patterns of gainful (i.e., career and education) expectations and behavior with 1,110 male and female youth adjudicated for a serious offense through group-based trajectory modeling. Using the Pathways to Desistance data set, we assessed whether expectation and behavior groups differed on demographic, pe…
Exploring Accumulative Risk and Protective Factors for Young People
Purpose: Agent-based modeling (ABM) is used to explore the impacts of a professional's decision-making on young people in their social lives. Methods: In this model, young people are presented with opportunities to engage in prosocial and antisocial activities. In these processes, authority figures act as a deterrent, actively reduce the risk of recidivism, or actively reduce risk and encourage prosocial development. Results: We assess the outcom…

Institutional Myths of the Probation Field
Probation is common globally, and many probation clients receive violations. Research on violations focuses on client characteristics or probation officer (PO) decision-making without considering the influence of the courtroom workgroup of judges, prosecutors and defence attorneys. Based on interviews with 94 POs in a statewide US probation agency, we analyse POs’ perceptions of their interactions with the courtroom workgroup using an inhabited i…
Teaching Note—Student Satisfaction With an Integrative Research Learning Environment
The Social Work integrative Research Lab (SWiRL) provides opportunities for undergraduate students to engage meaningfully with research and allows graduate students to develop mentoring skills. We conducted a survey of alumni (N=20) to learn whether: a) alumni endorsed the benefits of participation and b) SWiRL experiences contributed to professional development. We also conducted a social network analysis (N=16) of current participants to explor…
Applying Complex Adaptive Systems to Build Interdisciplinary Collaborations and Aid in Understanding Complicated Social Phenomena
The Grand Challenges for Social Work were introduced by the American Academy for Social Work & Social Welfare in 2016, which are social problems that are interrelated and “exceedingly complex”. We discuss the relevance of complexity theory, operationalized by complex adaptive systems (CAS), to the Grand Challenges. CAS moves beyond current ecological systems approaches and is more appropriate for studying nonlinear, dynamic phenomena such as the …
Assessing Homelessness and Incarceration Among Youth Aging Out of Foster Care, by Type of Disability
Changes in Risk Profiles
We use a person-centered approach to examine how patterns of risk and protective factors can change among youth on probation ( N = 7,024). Data were collected using the Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument. We used latent transition analysis to identify distinct subgroups at intake and exit; estimated probabilities of moving between groups; and examined recidivism rates. We selected the model with five groups and found that the groups at int…
Generating inclusive services for children, youth and families
Service systems for children and families have been shaped by standard approaches to knowledge‐building, which reflect a reductionist approach and assume linearity and/or that individuals and experiences are normally distributed. Yet, these approaches may be inadequate for clients most at‐risk, especially those who would be analytic ‘outliers’. A complexity lens focuses on the whole system and seeks to identify patterns, including the dynamic int…
Who Will Become Productive Adults? Longitudinal Patterns of Gainful Activities Among Serious Adolescent Offenders
The juvenile justice system is charged with the welfare of the children it serves, yet less is known about the prosocial behaviors of adolescent youthful offenders. This study identifies patterns of prosocial behavior for 7 years among serious adolescent offenders, the correlates of each pattern, and associated patterns of secure placement. Using 7 years of monthly data from the Pathways to Desistance Study ( N = 1,354), we used group-based traje…
Youth and Their Artificial Social Environmental Risk and Promotive Scores (Ya-TASERPS)
Risk assessments are designed to measure cumulative risk and promotive factors for delinquency and recidivism, and are used by criminal and juvenile justice systems to inform sanctions and interventions. Yet, these risk assessments tend to focus on individual risk and o en fail to capture each individual's environmental risk. This paper presents an agent-based model (ABM) which explores the interaction of individual and environmental risk on the …

Using latent class analysis to identify the complex needs of youth on probation
Innovations in Modeling Social Good
Objectives: Using agent-based modeling (ABM) within a complexity theory framework provides an alternative and promising method for significantly advancing the study of social good. Complexity theory is a systems approach based on the idea that aggregate patterns arise from the interactions of agents and their environments. Such systems operate according to a set of simple rules, and patterns emerge from these simple interactions that sometimes ca…
Independent living services, adjudication status, and the social exclusion of foster youth aging out of care in the United States
Recent policy changes have increased the availability of independent living services (ILS) to foster youth aging out of care in the United States. Yet, it is possible that youth who are also involved in the juvenile justice system may have trouble accessing these services. This study uses a social exclusion framework to examine associations between independent living service receipt, adjudication status, and early adult outcomes for youth aging o…
Effects of Formal and Informal Deviant Labels in Adolescence on Crime in Adulthood
The study reported in this article used labeling theory to examine the relationship between multiple labels in adolescence and self-reported criminal behavior in adulthood. This study used childhood, adolescent, and adult interviews (N = 357) from the Lehigh Longitudinal Study, which followed a high-risk community sample of individuals recruited from child welfare caseloads and other group settings in Pennsylvania. Structural equation modeling wa…
Patterns of family service needs and caregiver–child relationships among families at risk of child welfare involvement
Caregivers at risk of involvement in the child welfare system report high levels of need for multiple types of services, and their children have high levels of mental health need. Caregivers from families with more service needs, as well as unmet needs, are less likely to be engaged with child welfare services and may have diminished capacity to care for their child. This study takes a family‐centered approach by using latent class analysis to id…
The Social Exclusion of Dually-Involved Youth
We use an institutional life course perspective to explore the social exclusion of dually-involved youth. We begin by defining the concept of social exclusion and present one mechanism of social exclusion, the set of institutions operating in the lives of dually-involved youth. We use the social exclusion framework to extend the implications of studies of dually-involved youth, and propose three stages of social-exclusion for dually-involved yout…
The impact of income on reunification among families with children in out-of-home care
The Intersections of Marginalized Social Identities in the Transition to Adulthood
Studies focusing on emerging adulthood suggest that young adults from marginalized populations are more likely to assume adult roles earlier or struggle to assume adult roles altogether, both of which increase the likelihood of a challenging transition to adulthood. Demographic profiles of young adults do not simultaneously consider multiple marginalized identities. This study examines how the transition into key adult statuses differs by the int…

Receipt of help acquiring life skills and predictors of help receipt among current and former foster youth
Formal Bonds During the Transition to Adulthood
This study examines the relationship between extending care past age 18 and self-reported criminal and legal involvement among youth aging out of the foster care system, hypothesizing that staying in care past age 18 acts as a protective factor by reducing the likelihood that youth will engage in criminal behavior or experience arrests, incarcerations, and/or convictions. Data from a prospective study of former foster youth are used to test this …
Trajectories of Economic Disconnection among Families in the Child Welfare System
This study examined economic disconnection, an extreme case of economic exclusion in which families lack both employment and cash assistance, among families in the child welfare system. We hypothesized that child welfare intervention has the potential to be a mechanism of economic inclusion or exclusion for vulnerable families, with implications for family reunification. We utilized a novel administrative dataset containing data from three state …
An Institutional Framework for the Study of the Transition to Adulthood
The transition to adulthood has received the attention of scholars, practitioners, and policy makers in recent years. For some, the transition is an extended period during which commitments to adulthood institutions are delayed, termed emerging adulthood. For others, the transition is brief and commitments to adulthood institutions begin without delay, termed accelerated adulthood. Institutions play an important role in accumulating advantages or…

Dual-System Families
Dual-system families, those involved with the child welfare system and receiving public cash assistance, may be more vulnerable than families only connected to either of the two systems. This study advances our understanding of the heterogeneous and dynamic cash assistance histories of dual-system families in the post-welfare reform era. With merged administrative data from [state name removed] over the period 1998 to 2009, we use cluster analysi…

The Effects of Mode of Test Administration on Test Performance
This study sought to determine whether the mean score on the computerized version of an arithmetic reasoning test would be significantly lower than that on the paper-and-pencil version when there was no time limit. It was hypothesized that there would be no significant difference between the mean scores. A test for an interaction between Mode of Administration and ability was also performed. Test performance was measured by the number-correct sco…
The Effects of Past Computer Experience on Computerized Aptitude Test Performance
This study investigated the effects of past computer experience on the computerized aptitude test performance of college students. Subjects were 92 undergraduates. All subjects completed an arithmetic reasoning test by computer and a Computer Experience Questionnaire. Past computer experience did account for a significant amount of variance on the arithmetic reasoning test. Suggestions regarding the future use of computerized aptitude tests are g…

Effects of Performance Feedback on Teachers' Self-Evaluations
This study investigated the effects of performance feedback on self-evaluations with a similar task. 212 first-year female teachers from a large Southeastern school district completed two brief classroom-management tasks and rated their own performance on these tasks. Each task included five questions pertaining to specific problems of classroom management. Subjects rated themselves as solving the tasks either “well” or “poorly.” Feedback for the…
Sexual Stereotypes and Perceptions of Competence and Qualifications
This study investigated differences between men and women in their use of sexual stereotypes when evaluating recent hirees. Participants (33 Euro-American undergraduate women and 45 Euro-American undergraduate men) read a job announcement for Personnel Analyst and a completed employment application form (with a picture of the applicant attached). They then completed a questionnaire, indicating their perceptions of the applicant's competence, qual…
Defining Elder Care
This study was a beginning effort to clarify the different types of elder care and to understand which type of elder care, i.e., giving time or giving money, might be more closely associated with employed persons' health. Giving time, compared to giving money, to provide care may be weakly associated with emotional health (r = .05) and physical health (r = .04) as N = 2,269 (cf. rs of .00, .01); giving money may not be associated with either. Inv…
Reasons for Use of the Family and Medical Leave Act by Sex and Age
Applications (completed between 1995 and 2000) for leave by full-time staff employees working for a southeastern university of moderate size were examined by sex and age. Chi-square tests for frequencies of requests by reason (care for others vs own health condition) for taking leave were not associated with sex but were associated with age. The Family and Medical Leave Act may help both men and women assume dual roles of worker and family caregi…
Factor Structure of Organizational Commitment
The current study compared the factor structures of the construct of organizational commitment between two samples of financial employees, one from the U.S. (n = 103) and one from South Korea (n = 109). Participants completed a 26-item questionnaire. Two factors (an affective component and a normative component) emerged for the U.S. sample; only one factor for the Koreans. Results suggest that culture should be considered when trying to assess or…

Data from a prospective study of former foster youth are used to test this …
Pubertal Timing and Adolescent Substance Initiation
We tested 3 competing hypotheses regarding the relation between pubertal timing and substance initiation in adolescence: the early timing, off-time, and stressful change hypotheses. We used longitudinal data from the Developmental Pathways Project (N = 521). Youth reported whether they had ever tried alcohol, tobacco, or marijuana at baseline, and then again at 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-, 36-, and 72-month follow-up interviews. We estimated interval censo…

Labeling and the effect of adolescent legal system involvement on adult outcomes for foster youth aging out of care
This study uses labeling theory to examine the role that adolescent legal system involvement may play in initiating a process of social exclusion, leading to higher levels of adult criminal activities among foster youth who have aged out of care. We used data from the Midwest Evaluation of the Adult Functioning of Former Foster Youth (Midwest Study), a prospective study that sampled 732 youth from Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin as they were prepar…
