Abstract

Following the implementation of mandatory arrest policies for domestic violence in the 1990s, the number of youth – particularly girls – referred to juvenile justice systems for domestic violence (DV) increased. Though adolescent DV perpetration and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) share many of the same outcomes, and youth DV perpetration is thought to occur more frequently in abusive home environments, the link between ACEs and DV referral for juveniles is under-examined. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between ACEs and DV referral using data from the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, as well as identify gender and race/ethnicity differences in referral risk by ACEs. According to results, ACEs were associated with DV referral and this relationship was stronger for girls. Latino/a youth also experienced the greatest risk of referral relative to ACEs exposure. Implications for policy makers and practitioners are discussed.

青少年家庭暴力转介和不良童年经历：种族和性别差异

在1990年代实施针对家庭暴力的强制逮捕政策之后，因家庭暴力而被移交少年司法系统的青少年，特别是女孩的人数有所增加。虽然青少年家暴和不良童年经历(ace)有许多相同的结果，而且青少年家暴被认为在虐待家庭环境中更频繁发生，但青少年家暴和家暴转诊之间的联系尚未得到充分研究。本研究的目的是利用佛罗里达州少年司法部门的数据来检验ace与家庭暴力转诊之间的关系，并确定ace转诊风险的性别和种族/民族差异。结果显示，不良经历与家庭暴力转诊相关，且这种关系在女孩中更为明显。拉丁裔/a青年也经历了与ace暴露相关的最大转诊风险。讨论了对政策制定者和实践者的影响。
