Abstract

Youth involved in the juvenile justice system (JJS) have high rates of trauma relative to youth in the general population. Criminological research has posited that callous traits are some of the most prominent risk factors associated with onset and recidivistic criminal behavior. It stands to reason that research should test intermediary variables explaining the connection between cumulative trauma and risks for criminal behavior to better isolate trauma-driven determinants of callous traits. This study employs a structural equation model to test the connections between cumulative trauma, trauma symptoms, behavioral regulation, and callous traits among a sample of JJS involved youth (N = 336). Results revealed there was not a direct relationship between cumulative trauma and callous traits, but there were mediated effects of the variables in portions of the model; the developmental risks resulting from cumulative trauma, specifically trauma symptoms and behavioral regulation increase the likelihood for callous traits. Implications are discussed.

累积创伤的级联效应:参与正义的青少年的冷酷特质

青少年司法系统(JJS)中涉及的青少年相对于一般人群中的青少年有很高的创伤率。犯罪学研究认为，冷酷特征是与犯罪行为的发生和累犯相关的一些最突出的危险因素。因此，研究应该测试解释累积创伤和犯罪行为风险之间联系的中间变量，以更好地隔离创伤驱动的冷酷特征决定因素。本研究采用结构方程模型检验了JJS青少年累积创伤、创伤症状、行为调节和冷酷特质之间的关系。结果表明，累积创伤与骨痂性状之间不存在直接关系，但在部分模型中存在变量的中介效应;累积性创伤，特别是创伤症状和行为调节导致的发育风险增加了冷酷特征的可能性。讨论了影响。
