Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: Females are the fastest growing justice involved population in the United States, yet there is relatively little empirical research on the collateral consequences of juvenile justice involvement specifically for females. A growing body of empirical research underscores linkages between juvenile justice involvement and negative health and psychosocial outcomes, both in the short and long term.
UNASSIGNED: The current study describes the long-term collateral consequences of juvenile justice involvement for females previously involved in the juvenile justice system, drawing from a longitudinal dataset of 166 women who were initially recruited in adolescence due to chronic and severe justice system involvement. Participants were 15 years-old on average at study enrollment and 35 years-old on average at the current assessment. This paper describes the adolescent and adult experiences of the sample, therefore depicting the developmental trajectories of risk and protective factors for females involved with juvenile justice.
UNASSIGNED: As adults, 73% of the sample experienced arrest and 36% experienced incarceration. High rates of mental and physical health problems were reported, including that 50% of the sample met diagnostic criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder. Over 400 children were born to the sample, with high rates of documented intergenerational child welfare involvement.
UNASSIGNED: Study findings are discussed in the context of best practices for supporting adolescent girls involved with the juvenile justice system.
摘要:
女性是美国增长最快的涉及司法的人口,然而,关于少年司法介入对女性的附带后果的实证研究相对较少。越来越多的实证研究强调了少年司法参与与负面健康和社会心理结果之间的联系,无论是短期还是长期。
当前的研究描述了少年司法参与对以前参与少年司法系统的女性的长期附带后果,来自166名女性的纵向数据集,这些女性最初是由于长期和严重的司法系统参与而在青春期招募的。参与者在研究招募时平均为15岁,在当前评估中平均为35岁。本文描述了样本的青少年和成年人的经历,因此,描绘了参与少年司法的女性的风险和保护因素的发展轨迹。
作为成年人,73%的样本经历过逮捕,36%的样本经历过监禁。据报道,精神和身体健康问题的发生率很高,包括50%的样本符合创伤后应激障碍的诊断标准.超过400个孩子出生的样本,有记录的代际儿童福利参与率很高。
在支持青少年司法系统的青春期女孩的最佳做法的背景下讨论了研究结果。
