Within juvenile justice, evidence suggests that the more clearly youth can imagine their futures, the more likely they are to make thoughtful, goal-directed choices that reduce delinquency. However, little is known about how justice-involved youth envision their future selves. This study draws on narrative stories written by 277 youth in a short-term juvenile detention facility in the southwestern United States, collected through the social learning platform Journey.do. Leveraging the lens of narrative criminology, an inductive thematic analysis identified four main recurring theme categories from youth responses: (1) Values That Guide Career Choices; (2) Personal Improvement Goals; (3) Family Participation; and (4) Educational Goals. The findings indicate that youth in detention hold optimistic future aspirations in several spheres of life that the system should utilize to promote desistance and positive outcomes. Areas for future research and policy, such as elevating youths’ voices and redesigning system opportunities to support their idealized and individualized future selves, are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47525,"journal":{"name":"Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice","volume":"2019 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147524137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined whether two institutional factors, perceptions of rule fairness and safety in detention, are associated with youths’ comfort communicating with staff. In addition, we investigated whether feeling cared for by staff mediated these associations. Survey data from 429 youth released from two juvenile detention facilities in the southwestern U.S. indicated that youth who perceived rules as fair and the detention environment as safe were more comfortable speaking with staff. Feeling cared for by staff was a significant mediator. These findings highlight perceptions of rule fairness, safety, and care as critical relational signals that can promote communication between youth and detention staff, offering actionable targets for staff practices aimed at fostering supportive relationships between youth and staff in detention settings.","PeriodicalId":47525,"journal":{"name":"Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice","volume":"17 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147536099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Much of the early research on career criminals was atheoretical, but with the advancement of life-course and developmental research more and more research on career criminals was guided by theoretical explanations. Even so, there remains much that is unknown about whether criminological theories are useful in explaining career criminals. The current study partially addressed this gap in the literature by examining whether concepts drawn from Gottfredson and Hirschi’s (1990) theory and Moffitt’s (1993) taxonomy were able to explain age of criminal onset and the duration of the criminal career and whether career criminal measures were associated with the odds of being convicted and incarcerated when accounting for measures from these criminological theories. Arrestees drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health) were analyzed. The results of some of the models revealed that low self-control and neuropsychological functioning were related to age of criminal onset, but not the duration of the criminal career. Moreover, measures of self-control, neuropsychological functioning, and age of criminal onset were unrelated to the odds of being convicted and incarcerated.","PeriodicalId":47525,"journal":{"name":"Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice","volume":"220 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147524138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parental involvement may play a significant role in shaping experiences on probation. Attorneys’ perspectives on the role of parental involvement and how training experiences inform their consideration of parent factors in disposition planning are essential to examine. Defense attorneys ( N = 151) with past-year experience representing at least one juvenile client completed an online survey after reviewing a hypothetical probation case plan vignette for a youth client. Participants viewed a vignette with or without information about the youth’s parent. Attorneys strongly endorsed the importance of parental involvement in youth probation and recognized that many factors can impact involvement. Hours of training did not predict attitudes towards parental involvement, and such attitudes did not predict how attorneys handled the case plan. Access to parent-related information did inform perceptions of the plan’s appropriateness. Findings suggest trainings should focus on how attorneys can apply understanding of parental involvement to direct advocacy. Policy and practice reforms must promote supportive parental involvement in probation on a structural level.","PeriodicalId":47525,"journal":{"name":"Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147507944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on GST, this study investigates developmental differences in how various stressors influence delinquent behavior using two waves of nationally representative panel data from South Korea. Regression and decomposition analyses compare adolescence and early adulthood to assess changes in strain exposure and effects. Results show that adolescents experience significantly higher levels of stress and delinquency than in early adulthood. Parental, financial, and appearance stress significantly predict delinquency during adolescence but lose their effects later, with only peer stress remaining significant in early adulthood. Anger and low self-esteem consistently predict delinquency across both stages, suggesting that emotional vulnerability persists over time. Decomposition results indicate that most developmental declines in delinquency stem from changes in the effects of strain rather than reductions in strain exposure. These findings highlight that the types and impacts of strain evolve with age.","PeriodicalId":47525,"journal":{"name":"Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147507888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While extensive research has explored employment outcomes for adults exiting criminal justice supervision and pursuing reintegration, the economic reintegration of emerging adults under juvenile justice community supervision remains under-studied. Centering the lived experiences of emerging adults (ages 18–21) under juvenile justice community supervision, this longitudinal study investigated the direct and indirect effects of prosocial relationships on employment of this social group. Drawing on three waves of longitudinal data, a mediation analysis was conducted using a bootstrapping technique. Findings revealed that prosocial relationships predicted subsequent growth in social skills and life aspirations among justice-involved young adults (JIYAs), which, in turn, enhanced the likelihood of future employment. Moreover, the relationship between prosocial connections and employment was fully mediated by social skills and life aspirations. These results underscore the critical role of prosocial networks in supporting JIYAs’ reintegration, financial independence, and successful transition into adulthood.","PeriodicalId":47525,"journal":{"name":"Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146115753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the juvenile justice system, it is suggested that a larger minority population will be associated with greater punitive treatment, especially of minority defendants. While minority threat has received considerable attention in prior research, much of this work has focused on racial threat (i.e., Black/White). Few juvenile justice studies have tested the ethnic threat hypothesis, and no study has examined the influence of immigrant threat on juvenile court outcomes. To address this gap, the present study examines whether ethnic and immigrant threat at the county level are associated with more punitive juvenile court outcomes, and whether ethnic and immigrant threat amplify ethnic disparities in those outcomes. Findings offered limited support for the study hypotheses. First, ethnic and immigrant threat were both positively and significantly associated with odds of detention, but negatively associated with petition, and had no association with adjudication and disposition outcomes. Second, ethnic and immigrant threat did not moderate ethnic differences in juvenile court outcomes. The implications of the findings for theory, research, and policy are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47525,"journal":{"name":"Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145056738","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
