Extant research on juvenile legal system (JLS) involved girls generally focuses on individual and proximal environmental levels that bring girls into contact with the JLS. There is less research on how the JLS responds to girls in case dispositions (e.g., sanction-based responses, treatment-focused services), and how combinations of dispositions relate to girls’ further system involvement. In this study, we apply latent class analysis (LCA) to the juvenile legal context to categorize system responses in a sample of 1,133 adjudicated girls. We identify four distinct classes, comprising different types and combinations of dispositions. We then further analyzed the classes using individual characteristics and risk factors of girls to understand precursors to the system’s response and further JLS involvement. Our findings offer insight into how packages of court dispositions are correlated with increased recidivism. We consider implications for JLS intervention with girls and provide suggestions for further research.

Using data from the 2017 to 2020 National Crime Victimization Survey, the current study examines how race, ethnicity, and sex affect the likelihood of reporting violent victimization to the police across types of disability (hearing, vision, cognitive, and physical). Findings reveal that Black individuals with cognitive disabilities and Hispanic individuals with multiple disabilities were less likely to report their violent victimization to the police compared to White individuals with no disabilities. Results not only support prior literature’s conclusion that disability type shapes reporting outcomes but indicate potentially cumulative effects for those at the intersections. Its implications highlight the critical need for criminal justice practitioners, victim advocates, and researchers to integrate disability and its heterogeneity into practice.

Within the Christchurch Health and Development Study ( N = 1,265), we examine the prevalence and continuity of firesetting across the life course and explore whether adolescent firesetting is a risk marker for adult internalizing and externalizing behaviors. Life course continuity of firesetting was low. Adolescent firesetting (3%) correlated with antisocial behaviors and adverse family circumstances. Independent of conduct disorder, adolescent firesetting showed limited associations with adulthood internalizing outcomes, but associated with most externalizing outcomes (e.g., cannabis use disorder, OR = 2.08, 95% CI = [1.14, 3.78]). Further adjustment for antisocial tendencies and family circumstances reduced associations; the largest effect to remain was for alcohol use disorder (OR = 2.08, 95% CI = [1.19, 3.63]). Therefore, for most externalizing behaviors, adolescent firesetting is a marker (i.e., indicates future risk), but not an independent risk marker (i.e., does not have independent specificity). For adolescents who set fires, clinical treatment should assess comorbid conduct disorder and family instability and consider a range of problematic outcomes.
在克赖斯特彻奇健康与发展研究（N = 1,265）中，我们研究了整个生命过程中放火行为的发生率和连续性，并探讨了青少年放火行为是否是成人内化和外化行为的风险标志。纵火行为在一生中的连续性很低。青少年的放火行为（3%）与反社会行为和不利的家庭环境相关。与行为障碍无关，青少年时期的放火行为与成年后的内化结果关联有限，但与大多数外化结果相关（如大麻使用障碍，OR = 2.08，95% CI = [1.14，3.78]）。对反社会倾向和家庭环境的进一步调整降低了相关性；对酒精使用障碍的影响最大（OR = 2.08，95% CI = [1.19，3.63]）。因此，对于大多数外化行为而言，青少年放火行为是一个标记（即预示着未来的风险），但不是一个独立的风险标记（即不具有独立的特异性）。对于放火的青少年，临床治疗应评估其合并行为障碍和家庭不稳定性，并考虑一系列有问题的结果。

A growing body of research is beginning to highlight the difficulty clinicians have in distinguishing delusional beliefs from conspiratorial beliefs. This mixed-methods study examined how 198 forensic mental health professionals in Canada and the United States differentiate delusional beliefs from conspiratorial beliefs. Participants were presented with an experimental vignette describing a forensic patient’s symptoms and were asked to diagnose the individual and, if qualified, opine on the defendant’s competency to stand trial. Results showed that idiosyncratic and highly rigid and distressing beliefs significantly predicted the diagnosis of a psychotic disorder, whereas shared beliefs held with low/moderate rigidity and distress significantly predicted the identification of conspiratorial beliefs. Despite participants’ abilities to differentiate delusional and conspiratorial beliefs, some participants reported that they lacked sufficient training in this area. Future research should examine if factors other than the social context and rigidity of the belief influence the differentiation of delusional and conspiratorial beliefs.

In this article, we explored the social networks of 20 women who were in the process, or had completed, a sentence at a residential community corrections facility. Drawing on egocentric social network data and in-depth qualitative interviews, we analyzed the kinds of support that were most and least available to women, who were members of their network and what type of support they provided, and the role of complex relationships and peers. We found that women often relied on complex relationships and strategically navigated these relationships to access support. Many women also expressed a desire to mend and heal damaged relationships, recognizing their significance in their support system. Although peers can play a critical role in providing support to system-involved women, community corrections must invest in facilitating supportive connections and relationships among women. Ultimately, this research offers insights that can guide community corrections organizations in building and repairing women’s networks.

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. Results from a multilevel mixed-effects negative binomial model suggest that after accounting for various juvenile facility characteristics and practices, youth perceptions of staff are marginally associated with decreased rates of SDV over time. The results from the present study hold implications for research, policy, and practice. Importantly, the results imply a need for facility-wide and evidence-based staff training on SDV among detained youth that emphasizes building positive interpersonal relationships between staff and youth.

Approximately one in seven homicides globally is committed by a partner within an intimate relationship. While criminology research on intimate partner homicide (IPH) perpetrators is extensive, their interactions with law enforcement remain underexplored. This study examines the criminal trajectories of IPH perpetrators to ascertain whether they exhibit common or diverse patterns. Utilizing data from Quebec’s official criminal events database, the study analyzes variables concerning the criminal histories of 1,780 individuals involved in attempted or completed IPH through latent profile analysis. Findings indicate five distinct profiles among IPH perpetrators: one-time, low-volume intimate partner violence (IPV), moderate-volume IPV, high-volume violence, and high-volume polymorphous perpetrators. The external validity of these profiles is assessed using additional criminal career, contextual, and situational variables. Implications for the justice system’s practices and challenges are also discussed.

We conducted a comprehensive umbrella review including all published meta-analyses and systematic reviews on suicide-related outcomes among adults in custody. Eligible studies were searched for in major scientific databases following the PRISMA method up to February 2023. The quality of each study was assessed using the AMSTAR-2 protocol. Twenty studies were included, consisting of 11 meta-analyses and nine systematic reviews. Factors associated with suicide outcomes among individuals in custody were categorized into five domains: clinical status, historical, custodial, criminological, and prevention. However, all systematic studies reported considerable heterogeneity (I2 > 50%–85%). Most systematic literature reviews and/or meta-analyses showed moderate quality based on AMSTAR-2. This umbrella review highlights individual factors (in the clinical status and historical domain), contextual factors (in the custodial and criminological domains), and protective factors (in the prevention domain) to provide a clearer understanding of the prison-related domains involved in the development and maintenance of suicide-related outcomes.

To better understand the struggles drug court participants face and their relationship to graduation status, we took freehand notes during observations of staff meetings ( N = 119) and court dockets ( N = 147) and used thematic analysis to examine the notations. Themes included participants’ ongoing mental and physical health issues, legal issues outside of drug court, experience with both prosocial and antisocial relationships, drug use by family and friends, and a variety of treatment barriers even in a program designed to mitigate these. We expected ongoing legal issues outside of drug court, physical and mental health struggles, and family and friends being supportive, or not, to be related to graduation but they were not. However, COVID-19 and treatment barriers were significantly related to graduation status. Results add to the scholarly literature, especially that focusing on justice and court processes post-COVID-19, and can assist practitioners in understanding what factors may need more attention and resources.

Restorative justice (RJ) is a way of doing justice following an offense that is oriented toward repairing individual, relational, and social harm. Despite indications of their contribution to rehabilitation, RJ is still used infrequently, especially in serious offenses. We believe implementing them in prison is likely to provide access to RJ to a wider population. Twenty-three adult correctional clients were interviewed about their attitudes toward participation in RJ while in custody. Specifically, the study examined facilitators and barriers affecting their willingness to participate. The facilitators found included the following: (1) Desire to seek forgiveness; (2) Expressing respect for the victim; (3) Reciprocity—the correctional client as a victim; and (4) Desire to renew relationships. The barriers identified were as follows: (1) Fear of the victims’ reactions; (2) Disbelief in the victim’s ability to forgive; and (3) Unwillingness to include their supporters. These facilitators and barriers are discussed with a view to implementing RJ in prisons.
