Guided by the Cumulative Risk and Protective Model, this study examined the direct effects of seven violence and threat exposures on gun carrying, alongside the promotive and protective roles of parental monitoring. Using a nationally representative sample from the 2023 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, complementary log-log regression models were employed, controlling for adverse childhood experiences, mental health, and demographics factors. Of the 20,103 adolescent examined, 4% reported gun carrying the past year. Results indicated that school threats, physical fights, neighborhood violence, sexual abuse, and racial discrimination significantly increased the odds of gun carrying. Conversely, school bullying was associated with reduced odds of gun carrying, whereas cyberbullying showed no significant association with gun carrying. Parental monitoring emerged as a strong promotive factor, reducing the odds of gun carrying by 38%; however, it did not buffer the risks posed by violence exposures. The findings of this study suggest that while parental monitoring is a vital protective asset, it may be insufficient to mitigate the influence of multiple violence exposures, necessitating multi-level strategies across school, community, and family contexts.","PeriodicalId":47525,"journal":{"name":"Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148709608","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}

Results indicated that ACEs were not directly associated with justice involvement, however, significant differences were found based on gender and developmental assets. Developmental assets moderated this relation for boys and girls, but the type of moderation differed by gender. ACEs predicted greater justice involvement for boys with low external developmental assets, but not for boys with high external developmental assets. However, for girls, ACEs predicted greater justice involvement for girls with low internal developmental assets, but not for girls with high internal developmental assets.

PCL: YV total and most facet scores were inversely related to verbal IQ, unrelated to academic achievement, and strongly associated with school disengagement; however, interpersonal facet scores showed the opposite pattern among male youth. Cox regression survival analyses demonstrated that composite variables reflecting global achievement and school engagement concerns incrementally predicted recidivism outcomes controlling for PCL: YV scores; higher achievement and school engagement appeared to mitigate risk. By contrast, while global cognitive ability similarly mitigated risk among male youth, it was associated with increased recidivism among female youth after controlling for baseline psychopathy.

Linear regression explored the relationships between duration of each form of maltreatment, trauma symptoms, and total delinquency. Results revealed that for a 1-year increase in duration of sexual abuse, youth had greater odds of disclosing a sexual offense ( B = 1.486, p = .002). Youths with longer durations of sexual abuse reported more severe trauma symptoms ( B = 2.07, p = .049); longer durations of physical abuse were associated with frequency of delinquency ( B = 0.03, p = .05).

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}

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.

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}
