Actuarial Assessment of Violence Risk
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 34 Số 1 - Trang 22-36 - 2007
Martin Grann, Niklas Långström
The assigning of different weights to risk factors in actuarial formulas for the assessment of violence risk in criminal offenders has been debated. The authors explore the predictive validity of an index with 10 well-established risk factors for criminal recidivism with respect to violent reconvictions among 404 former forensic psychiatric examinees in Sweden. Four different weighting conditions ... hiện toàn bộ
Delinquent Gangs and Adolescent Victimization Revisited
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 36 Số 8 - Trang 808-823 - 2009
Matt DeLisi, J. C. Barnes, Kevin M. Beaver, Chris L. Gibson
Adolescents in delinquent gangs are at risk for multiple forms of antisocial behavior and related negative outcomes, including victimization. Theoretical attempts to explain the delinquency-gang nexus include selection, facilitation, and enhancement models, but each has limitations in terms of selection biases. To redress this, the current study used propensity score matching (PSM) to evaluate the... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment Response of Adolescent Offenders With Psychopathy Features
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 33 Số 5 - Trang 571-596 - 2006
Michael F. Caldwell, Jennifer L. Skeem, Randall T. Salekin, Gregory Van Rybroek
This study examines the treatment response of 141 juvenile offenders with high scores on the Psychopathy Checklist:Youth Version ( M total > 27). Two groups of potentially psychopathic offenders are compared: one that participates in the Mendota Juvenile Treatment Center (MJTC), an intensive treatment program (MJTC, n = 56), and another that receives “treatment as usual” in conventional juvenile c... hiện toàn bộ
Perceptions of Institutional Experience and Community Outcomes for Serious Adolescent Offenders
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 39 Số 1 - Trang 71-93 - 2012
Carol A. Schubert, Edward P. Mulvey, Thomas A. Loughran, Sandra H. Losoya
Social scientists have long recognized that individual experiences in particular settings shape behavior, and as a result, many service sectors regularly evaluate client perceptions. This is not the case in the juvenile justice system. Using a sample of 519 serious juvenile offenders (92% male, ethnically diverse) from two sites, this study evaluated the impact of youth perceptions along eight dim... hiện toàn bộ
Neuropsychological Function, Drug Abuse, and Violence
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 27 Số 2 - Trang 139-159 - 2000
Diana Fishbein
Delineation of the biological substrates of violence in substance abusers would be valuable in developing therapeutic interventions for substance abusers who tend to be refractory to conventional treatments. Substance abusers with chronically violent behavior show more severity and poorer prognosis of their substance abuse disorder and more criminal activity. Violence may share many of the same un... hiện toàn bộ
Analyzing the Origins of Life-Course-Persistent Offending
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 40 Số 5 - Trang 519-540 - 2013
J. C. Barnes
Moffitt’s developmental taxonomy has sparked much attention among criminologists interested in explaining the etiology of life-course-persistent (LCP) offending. The taxonomy suggests that genetic factors influence LCP offending, that genetic risk factors will be mediated by neuropsychological deficits, and that genetic factors interact with environmental factors to influence LCP offending. Variou... hiện toàn bộ
College Students' Lifestyles and Self-Protective Behaviors
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 30 Số 3 - Trang 302-327 - 2003
Richard Tewksbury, Elizabeth Ehrhardt Mustaine
Routine activity theory has traditionally emphasized identifying victimization risks and suitable targets for crime. Assessments of the role of guardianship in criminal events are less emphasized. Explorations of who uses guardianship to attempt to reduce their chances for victimization have been developed only minimally, typically relying on demographics. This research goes further in assessing w... hiện toàn bộ
A Multiple-Models Approach to Violence Risk Assessment Among People with Mental Disorder
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 324-340 - 2004
Steven M. Banks, Pamela Clark Robbins, Eric Silver, Roumen Vesselinov, Henry J. Steadman, John Monahan, Edward P. Mulvey, Paul S. Appelbaum, Thomas Grisso, Loren H. Roth
Actuarial models for violencerisk assessment have proliferatedin recent years. In this article, we describe an approach that integrates the predictions of many actuarial risk-assessment models, each of which may capture a different but important facet of the interactive relationship between the measured risk factors and violence. Using this multiple-models approach, we ultimately combined the resu... hiện toàn bộ
Impact of Childhood Maltreatment on Recidivism in Youth Offenders
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 42 Số 10 - Trang 990-1007 - 2015
Dongdong Li, Chi Meng Chu, Joseph Teck Ling Goh, Irene Y. H. Ng, Gerald Zeng
The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of childhood maltreatment on youth offender recidivism in Singapore. The study used case file coding on a sample of 3,744 youth offenders, among whom about 6% had a childhood maltreatment history. The results showed that the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory 2.0 (YLS/CMI 2.0) ratings significantly predicted recidivism for nonmaltreat... hiện toàn bộ
A Lesson on Interrogations From Detainees
Criminal Justice and Behavior - Tập 42 Số 12 - Trang 1243-1260 - 2015
Brent Snook, Dianna Brooks, Ray Bull
The ability to predict confessions and cooperation from the elements of an interrogation was examined. Incarcerated men ( N = 100) completed a 50-item questionnaire about their most recent police interrogation, and regression analyses were performed on self-reported decisions to confess and cooperate. Results showed that the likelihood of an interrogation resulting in a confession was greatest whe... hiện toàn bộ
