Abstract

Research on the role of risk perception as a mechanism linking personality traits and behavioral outcomes is limited. The current study assessed a developmental model of the influence of psychopathic traits (PPTs) on the between- and within-individual variation in perceptions of risk and aggressive offending. Multivariate latent growth curve models were used to estimate the role of risk perceptions in the association between PPTs and aggressive offending in a sample of 1,354 adjudicated youths. The results indicated that PPTs influenced between-individual differences in perceptions of risk (β = −.312) and aggressive offending (β = .256), although the effects on within-individual differences suggested some attenuation over time. Additionally, higher PPT scores exhibited an indirect influence on increased aggressive offending through reduced perceptions of risk (β = .049). Implications from this line of research support calls for a developmentally informed juvenile justice system that considers latent personality traits and their long-term effects. Broader implications support individualized rehabilitative programming and tailored responses to offending over the blanket deterrence approach that dominates the current landscape of the American criminal justice system.

拘捕风险知觉形成在精神病与攻击性犯罪关系中的作用

风险感知作为人格特质与行为结果之间联系的机制，其作用研究有限。目前的研究评估了精神病态特征(PPTs)对个体之间和个体内部风险和攻击性犯罪感知差异影响的发展模型。多变量潜在增长曲线模型被用来估计风险认知在1,354名被判青少年的PPTs和攻击性犯罪之间的关联中的作用。结果表明，PPTs影响了风险感知(β = - 0.312)和攻击性犯罪(β = 0.256)的个体间差异，尽管对个体内差异的影响随着时间的推移而有所减弱。此外，较高的PPT分数通过降低风险感知而间接影响攻击性犯罪的增加(β = 0.049)。这一研究支持的含义要求建立一个考虑潜在人格特征及其长期影响的发展知情的少年司法系统。更广泛的影响支持个性化的康复计划和针对犯罪的量身定制的反应，而不是目前主导美国刑事司法系统的全面威慑方法。

Emphasis is placed on such topics as serious and violent juvenile offenders, juvenile offender recidivism, institutional violence, and other relevant topics to youth violence and juvenile justice such as risk assessment, psychopathy, self-control, and gang membership, among others. Decided emphasis is placed on empirical research with specific implications relevant to juvenile justice process, policy, and administration. Interdisciplinary in scope, Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice serves a diverse audience of academics and practitioners in the fields of criminal justice, education, psychology, social work, behavior analysis, sociology, law, counseling, public health, and all others with an interest in youth violence and juvenile justice.
