Abstract

Objectives

In the Netherlands, adolescent criminal law makes it is possible to sentence young adult offenders with juvenile sanctions. This study examines the effectiveness of juvenile sanctions for young adults on recidivism.

Methods

A quasi-experimental design with judicial observational data and matched control groups was used. The effects were tested for a composition of juvenile sanctions and a subsample with unconditional juvenile detention. Cox survival analyses and negative binomial regression analyses were used to examine the effects of juvenile sanctions on recidivism.

Results

Young adults sentenced with a composition of juvenile sanctions have a significantly higher chance of (serious) recidivism for both prevalence and frequency compared to young adults sentenced with adult sanctions. For young adults in juvenile or adult detention, the chance of recidivism and recidivism frequencies are comparable.

Conclusion

This study underlines the importance of adhering to what works principles during the implementation of a significant policy measure.

荷兰对年轻人判处青少年制裁：再犯风险增加或无差异

目的在荷兰，青少年刑法规定可以对青少年罪犯判处青少年制裁。本研究考察了青少年制裁对青少年累犯的有效性。方法采用准实验设计，采用司法观察数据和匹配的对照组。对青少年制裁的组成和无条件拘留青少年的子样本进行了效果测试。采用Cox生存分析和负二项回归分析来检验青少年制裁对累犯的影响。结果与被判处成人刑罚的年轻人相比，被判处少年刑罚的年轻成年人在发生率和频率上都有更高的（严重）累犯几率。对于被青少年或成人拘留的年轻人来说，再次犯罪的机会和再次犯罪的频率是相当的。结论本研究强调了在一项重大政策措施的实施过程中遵守有效原则的重要性。
