Abstract

The consequences of incarceration for juveniles are vast and well-documented. There is some evidence, though, that youth can experience positive transformations, including improvements in dynamic risk during confinement. What we do not yet know is who is the most likely to make such transformations. Using a sample of 7,269 youth housed in residential placement facilities in Florida, this paper examines whether visitation is associated with improvements in dynamic risk during confinement. The results indicate that youth who receive visits and receive them more consistently make greater improvements across nearly all measures of dynamic risk compared to those who do not. Further, there is some evidence that change in dynamic risk mediates the relationship between visitation and recidivism for this group. These findings underscore the importance of continued availability of visitation programs within residential facilities.

关系环境的改变:探视对监禁青少年动态风险变化的影响

监禁对青少年的后果是巨大的，而且有充分的记录。然而，有一些证据表明，年轻人可以经历积极的转变，包括在禁闭期间动态风险的改善。我们还不知道谁最有可能做出这样的转变。本文以佛罗里达州7269名居住在安置设施中的青年为样本，研究探视是否与禁闭期间动态风险的改善有关。结果表明，与没有接受探访的年轻人相比，接受探访并更持续地接受探访的青年在几乎所有动态风险指标上都有更大的改善。此外，有一些证据表明，动态风险的变化介导了该群体的探视和累犯之间的关系。这些发现强调了在住宅设施内继续提供探视计划的重要性。
