Abstract

Whether the imposition of monetary sanctions is related to juvenile recidivism is explored overall and across race and ethnicity. Leveraging a statewide sample, logistic regression was used to predict fees and restitution assignment based on youth/case characteristics, hierarchical linear and logistic random-effects regression examined the association between neighborhood characteristics with fees and restitution, and propensity score matching examined whether fees and/or restitution are related to reoffending. No race/ethnic differences were found in the proportion of youth receiving court fees, yet when fees were administered both Black and Hispanic youth received higher fees. Neighborhood characteristics have minimal impact on whether (or the amounts) monetary sanctions were assigned. Post-matching, fees increased recidivism, as did being Black or Hispanic. Interactions between race/ethnicity and both fees and restitution showed Black youth with restitution had a higher recidivism likelihood. Monetary sanctions imposed on youth involved in the juvenile justice system has a potential deleterious impact on recidivism.

全州范围内对佛罗里达州跨种族青少年累犯的赔偿和费用影响分析

对实施货币制裁是否与青少年再犯有关进行了全面和跨种族的探讨。利用全州范围内的样本，逻辑回归用于预测基于青少年/案件特征的费用和赔偿分配，分层线性和逻辑随机效应回归检验了邻里特征与费用和赔偿之间的关系，倾向得分匹配检验了费用和/或赔偿是否与再犯有关。在收取法庭费用的青少年比例上，没有发现种族/民族差异，但在收取费用时，黑人和西班牙裔青少年的费用都较高。邻里特征对是否(或金额)实施货币制裁的影响最小。配对后，费用增加了累犯率，黑人或西班牙裔也是如此。种族/民族与罚金和罚金之间的相互作用表明，有罚金的黑人青年有更高的再犯可能性。对参与少年司法系统的青少年施加的金钱制裁对再犯有潜在的有害影响。
