Abstract

This study examines the adult imprisonment outcomes of a cohort of serious and violent juvenile offenders released from Texas state juvenile correctional facilities during their transition from adolescence to early adulthood. We distinguish incarceration in the adult prison system as resulting from a new offense or as the result of a revocation for a technical supervision violation. Of the sample (n = 709), 37% were incarcerated in Texas’ adult prison system within two years following their release from state juvenile incarceration—16% were incarcerated for a new offense and 21% were incarcerated for revocation as a result of a technical violation of supervision. Results indicate that race, being a sexual offender, gang affiliate, engaging in violent institutional misconduct as a juvenile ward, being under supervised release, and age at initial juvenile incarceration were determinants of adult incarceration for any reason. Similar determinants of incarceration were found examining incarceration for offenders released under community supervision. Prior placements as a juvenile and gang affiliation were correlated with incarceration for a new offense. Research and policy implications are discussed.

有时他们会回来重犯与曾被监禁的严重和暴力少年犯的成年监禁

本研究考察了一批从得克萨斯州少年管教所释放的严重暴力少年犯在从青春期向成年早期过渡期间的成年监禁结果。我们将成年监狱系统中的监禁区分为因新的犯罪或因违反技术监管规定而被撤销的结果。在样本（n = 709）中，37% 的人在从州立少年监狱释放后两年内被关押在得克萨斯州的成人监狱系统中，16% 的人因新犯罪被关押，21% 的人因技术性违反监管规定而被撤销监管。结果表明，种族、性犯罪者、帮派成员、在少年被监护期间参与暴力机构不当行为、接受监督释放以及少年首次入狱时的年龄是因任何原因被成人监禁的决定因素。在对接受社区监督的刑满释放人员的监禁情况进行研究时也发现了类似的决定因素。之前的少年犯安置和帮派关系与新犯罪的监禁相关。本文讨论了研究和政策影响。
