Abstract

PurposeIncreasing numbers of children with behaviour problems in school are recognized as having language and communication difficulties. However, communication limitations have not been assessed adequately as a risk factor for juvenile recidivism. The aim of this study was to examine how changes in communication skills impacted subsequent engagement in crime among youth.MethodsFour waves of longitudinal data of youth who were placed in juvenile justice residential facilities were used for the study. Group‐based trajectory and multivariate regression analyses were used to investigate how the growth trajectories of communication skills impacted recidivism.ResultsGroup‐based trajectory analysis revealed heterogeneous growth in communication skills among residential youth. More interestingly, the scale of growth predicted recidivism.ConclusionsThis study extends an understanding of juvenile aggression and criminal offences by underlining communication limitation issues as a focal predictor of recidivism. Sufficient resources are needed for the development, evaluation and implementation of intervention programmes to help youth overcome limitations in communication.
沟通能力的成长轨迹对青少年累犯的影响
目的越来越多在学校有行为问题的儿童被认为有语言和交流障碍。然而,沟通障碍作为青少年累犯的一个风险因素尚未得到充分评估。本研究旨在探讨沟通能力的变化对青少年日后参与犯罪活动的影响。研究方法:本研究使用了四波被安置在少年司法寄宿设施中的青少年的纵向数据。结果以小组为基础的轨迹分析显示,寄宿青少年在沟通技能方面的增长存在差异。结论这项研究通过强调沟通限制问题是累犯的重点预测因素,扩展了对青少年攻击行为和刑事犯罪的理解。我们需要足够的资源来制定、评估和实施干预计划,帮助青少年克服沟通障碍。
