摘要
性别是涉及少年司法系统的青少年的一个重要解释变量,文献显示女性和男性青少年严重犯罪的保护和风险因素存在差异。本研究的目的是研究在葡萄牙监禁的女性(n = 76, M = 16.37岁,SD = 1.16)和男性(n = 214, M = 16.40岁,SD = 1.30)青少年中精神病态和相关特征、外化行为和犯罪特征的性别差异。结果表明,男孩倾向于表现出更高水平的精神病态/冷酷无情的特征、行为障碍、主动攻击和较低水平的同理心。在犯罪特征方面,男孩的犯罪频率、犯罪多样性、犯罪严重程度、拘留天数、一般和暴力一年累犯水平均显著高于男孩,并且男孩的犯罪年龄、首次法律问题年龄和首次拘留年龄也较低。调查结果支持这样一种观点,即了解性别的服务和监督对于了解和干预参与司法的青年至关重要。
Comparing boys and girls in juvenile detention in Portugal: differences in psychopathic traits, criminal behaviors, and one-year recidivism
ABSTRACT Gender is a critical explanatory variable among juvenile justice system-involved youth, with the literature showing differential protective and risk factors for serious delinquency among female and male youth. The aim of the current study is to examine gender differences in psychopathic and related traits, externalizing behaviors, and offense profiles among a sample of female (n = 76, M = 16.37 years, SD = 1.16) and male (n = 214, M = 16.40 years, SD = 1.30) youth incarcerated in Portugal. Results showed that boys tended to present significantly higher levels of psychopathic/callous–unemotional traits, conduct disorder, proactive aggression, and also lower levels of empathy. In terms of offense profiles, boys tended to present significantly higher levels of crime frequency, crime diversity, crime seriousness, days in detention, and general and violent one-year recidivism, and also lower ages of crime onset, first legal problem, and first detention. Findings support the notion that gender-informed services and supervisions are essential for understanding and intervening among justice-involved youth.
期刊介绍:
This journal promotes the study and application of psychological approaches to crime, criminal and civil law, and the influence of law on behavior. The content includes the aetiology of criminal behavior and studies of different offender groups; crime detection, for example, interrogation and witness testimony; courtroom studies in areas such as jury behavior, decision making, divorce and custody, and expert testimony; behavior of litigants, lawyers, judges, and court officers, both in and outside the courtroom; issues of offender management including prisons, probation, and rehabilitation initiatives; and studies of public, including the victim, reactions to crime and the legal process.
