Evaluating the Intervention Programs of Juvenile Delinquency: A Comprehensive Analysis

This study assessed the juvenile delinquency intervention programs in Barangay Tibal-og, Municipality of Santo Tomas, Davao del Norte, to inform enhanced strategies for addressing youth crime. It utilized qualitative approaches such as in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis to analyze the experiences, insights, and recommendations of program stakeholders. Eight themes emerged regarding experiences, highlighting procedural equity, trust-building, and individual growth. The insights on implementation revealed five key themes, emphasizing effective interventions and collaborative efforts. The recommendations highlighted on establishing separate detention centers, allocating adequate resources and rehabilitation centers, enhancing parental awareness, and adhering to guidelines. The study further stressed the significance of the guidelines and assisting with current programs, while pressing for more resources and rehabilitation institutions. Parental awareness had a crucial role in avoiding and dealing with delinquency, coupled with community engagement and the development of positive values. The results concluded the need for continuous improvements in the juvenile justice system, promoting cooperation among all involved and implementing strategies that are supported by empirical facts. By utilizing these observations, communities can aim for fairer and more efficient actions, promoting safer surroundings and more promising prospects for vulnerable young individuals.

Study on the Correctional Treatment of Juvenile Delinquency and Social Work Intervention Mechanisms in China

Based on specific analyses of cases of juvenile delinquency, it is found that the reasons why minors commit criminal acts are to a large extent related to their own special psychology, and that correcting minors for their special psychology and guiding them towards a healthier, more positive direction is of significant value to the effective education of juvenile delinquents. At the present stage of analysis, crime correction is no longer the exclusive responsibility of judicial personnel, but social workers and volunteers can also actively join in, and their participation will make the actual effect of juvenile crime correction significantly better. The article analyses the corrective treatment of juvenile delinquency and the involvement of social work, with the aim of better preventing juvenile delinquency in the future and enabling them to embark on the right path in life.

Interrelatedness of Family and Parenting Risk Factors for Juvenile Delinquency: A Network Study in U.S. and Dutch Juveniles.

Family interventions that address a diversity of family and parenting factors are often used to prevent juvenile delinquency, but are effective to only a limited extent. This study applied a network approach to risk factors for juvenile delinquency and examined the interrelatedness of specifically family and parenting risk factors in a U.S. and separate Dutch sample of juveniles and their family members. Differences in interrelatedness between these samples were examined as well. Secondary analyses were conducted on data collected in the United States with the Washington State Juvenile Court Assessment (WSJCA) and on data collected in the Netherlands with a Dutch-adapted translation of the WSJCA. Network analyses were performed, separately for the U.S. (N = 13,613) and Dutch (N = 3,630) sample, on seven risk factors that were assessed with a three-point Likert scale ranging from each factor's protective side to a corresponding risk side. In the U.S. sample network, "inadequate parental punishment" and "lack of parental supervision" that both refer to an authoritarian parenting style were the most "central" factors and had the strongest associations with the other risk factors. In the Dutch sample network, "the family not providing opportunities" and "inadequate parental reward" were the most "central" factors, which refer to an authoritative parenting style. The family and parenting factors identified as most central in the networks may be promising to address in family interventions, as it can be expected that both the directly addressed problems and their correlated problems will improve. The current results may inform attempts to strengthen family interventions for juvenile delinquency in the United States and the Netherlands.

Research on Juvenile Delinquency Intervention

At present, the minors in our country usual commit illegal acts, such as stealing, fighting, picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Timely intervention on the “Bad behavior” of juvenile delinquents can effectively avoid the occurrence of criminal acts and consequences. At present, there is still a lack of specific provisions in our legislation on the timely intervention of juvenile delinquency and the division of responsibility. In this paper, we propose the idea of a juvenile delinquency intervention mechanism based on available data.

Evaluation of neuropsychological characteristics and attention bias in juvenile offenders, juvenile victims, and juveniles who have not participated in the criminal justice system.

The increasing inclusion of children in the criminal justice system as "juvenile offenders" and "juvenile victims" has recently emerged as a severe and multifaceted problem. This study evaluates whether juvenile offenders differ from juveniles who have not participated in the criminal justice system and juvenile victims regarding executive function skills and attentional bias. The participant group comprised 85 children aged 12-18, and the study setting was Turkey, utilizing one control group and two treatment groups with open criminal case files in Antalya Courthouse. The first treatment group consisted of 30 juvenile offenders; the second consisted of 30 juvenile victims. The control group consisted of 25 juveniles who were not juvenile offenders or victims. In this context, children's executive functions were measured with the short-form Barratt Impulsivity Scale, the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices Test, the TBAG-form Stroop test, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, and the Istanbul 5 Cube Planning Test. Attentional bias was measured using a dot-probe task. Illiteracy, intellectual or developmental disability, and being a non-native Turkish speaker were the exclusion criteria for all three groups. The study found that the scores of the juvenile offender group on the Barratt Impulsivity Scale were significantly higher than the children in the juvenile victim group and the children in the control group. For other tests measuring executive functions, the control group's scores were significantly higher than juvenile offenders and juvenile victims. Regarding attentional bias, the children in the control group exhibited less attentional bias to negative stimuli than the juvenile offenders and victims. Researchers have generally addressed the reasons that push children to crime and become victims of crime through individual, familial, and environmental reasons. However, the number of studies investigating the neuropsychological characteristics of children dragged into crime is relatively limited in our country. In addition, there is no study comparing the executive functions and attentional bias of children who are dragged into crime, victimized children, and children without a history of being dragged into crime and victimization. In this context, this study can highlight important implications for the judicial system regarding juvenile delinquency interventions.

Influence of Food Type on Human Psychological-Behavioral Responses and Crime Reduction.

The purpose of this narrative review is to emphasize the importance of food consumption and meal selection on mental health and brain function, including psychological and behavioral reactions such as mood, loving relationships, violence, and criminal activity. Additionally, by being aware of the link between food and mental health, the community can be encouraged to make informed food choices in order to avoid unfavorable outcomes like criminality. Food behaviors are shifting significantly over the world. There are also significant changes in mood, sadness, happiness, and violence, as well as the spread of the variety and severity of mental diseases that lead to violent acts. Food intake and meal selection have evolved over the last ten years as the variety and accessibility of food options have become easier and more diverse. These modifications might have both beneficial and bad consequences. This article examines the relationship between food intake and its impact on marital satisfaction. The goal of this review is to support or refute the claim that food influences mood, love, or criminal behavior, or vice versa. Various diets can have an impact on one's mental health and brain, influencing psychological reactions and behavioral responses such as mood, loving relationships, violence, and even criminal activity. Food insecurity has been demonstrated in various studies to have a negative impact on health and psychological well-being, leading to despair, loss of happiness, marital conflict, and violence. For example, herbal extracts and flavonoids have the potential to improve gut microbiota and treat mood disorders. Understanding how the gut-brain axis communicates might help guide interventions for mood and cognitive function. Since the root of most diseases and behaviors is significantly related to the type of food consumed, this research addresses this issue in order to reduce the cost of treatment and prevention of crime and delinquency at the community level by consciously choosing the food consumed by the society. In other words, prevention is always better than cure.

A Critical Evaluation of the Risk, Need, and Responsivity Principles in Family Interventions for Delinquent Youth: A Meta-Analysis

This meta-analysis aimed to re-examine the available evidence on the effectiveness of the risk, need, and responsivity principles of the RNR model in family interventions for juvenile delinquency. As previous reviews did not examine these principles fully in line with their original definitions, this review aimed to improve the coding of the RNR principles and to re-evaluate their association with intervention effectiveness. A three-level meta-analysis of k = 31 studies reporting on 71 effect sizes revealed an overall small and significant intervention effect ( d = 0.382, p < .001). Although larger effects were found for interventions adhering to any of the RNR principles, none of the RNR principles significantly moderated overall intervention effectiveness. Interventions specifically targeting antisocial recreational activities, and interventions taking into account the youth's age and cultural background did significantly increase overall effectiveness. The results reveal that strong and convincing empirical support for the RNR principles is not yet available, which can mainly be explained by limitations in the design of primary studies on the RNR principles and intervention effectiveness. Suggestions are offered to improve the quality of both primary and secondary research that is needed for establishing a better empirical evidence for the widely acknowledged RNR model.

The historical analysis of childhood and juvenile delinquency: Implications of american social trend and thought

This paper provides a comprehensive historical analysis of policies, theories and approaches to juvenile delinquency. It also examines the deficits and advantages of the application of adult based criminological theory as a means of explaining, and irradiating juvenile crime. Additionally, the author explores the dynamics of the definition of childhood, the pervasiveness of the mistreatment of children, and how these ever-evolving conditions have impacted juvenile justice policy. Moreover, the paper dissects classical, positivist, and neo-classical criminological theories efforts to explain society's response to juvenile crime. In the conclusion, the author draws implications to contemporary approaches to the treatment of juvenile delinquency based in the positivist school of thought. Finally, the author discuss the significance of understanding the historical implications for policymakers and practitioners.

IBBIY YOʻSINDAGI MAJBURLOV CHORALARINI QOʻLLASH TOʻGʻRISIDAGI ISHLARNI YURITISHNING OʻZIGA XOSLIGI

This article examines the problems that arise in law and practice in the application of coercive medical measures against persons who are mentally retarded or temporarily mentally ill when socially dangerous acts are committed. Despite the reforms in the judicial system of Uzbekistan in recent years, the procedure for the application of coercive medical measures, its clear definition, and the lack of work to ensure the rights and freedoms of the person subject to coercive medical measures are neglected. The reforms carried out by the state “for the dignity of humans” should improve the return of mentally retarded people to society, their treatment and prevention of delinquency and prevent socially dangerous acts, and the application of this institution. In order to legally regulate these problems, it is necessary to bring the legislation of Uzbekistan in the sphere of coercive medical measures and the health care system in line with international requirements and ensure the transparency of the judicial system. The author emphasizes that the main direction in finding a legal solution to these issues is the need to include specific measures and concepts of application of coercive medical measures in the laws and legal literature.

Trauma Informed Delinquency Interventions for Native Children.

Recognizing the links between childhood trauma and delinquency, many juvenile delinquency systems now emphasize trauma-informed care. This commentary examines established and emerging research on childhood trauma among American Indian and Alaska Native children and contrasts the development and implementation of "trauma-informed" approaches in state and tribal juvenile systems. It identifies three key innovations present in tribal models and calls for further research to identify best practices that work for Native children and tribal communities.

Personal and Vicarious Experiences that Shape Incarcerated Youths’ Perceptions of Injustice- Comparing Two Measures

ABSTRACT We compared the relationships between incarcerated youths’ injustice perceptions and demographic variables and personal and vicarious experiences with the justice system using indexes of injustice derived from Matza and Tyler. The two injustice frameworks represent different academic traditions in ways that raise different prospects. Matza contextualizes his formulation of injustice in group processes that emphasize shared neutralization of regulating norms because of injustice. That emphasis is absent in Tyler. Tyler’s work has led to an invariance claim across demographics that is not postulated by Matza. We analyzed data from the Florida Faith and Community-Based Delinquency Treatment Initiative. We found nonwhite youths perceived more injustice as measured by both indexes. In a boys-only subsample, younger boys perceived more injustice measured by the Tyler index. Vicarious exposure via friends’ experiences with police related to higher perceived levels of injustice only on the Matza index. We encourage researchers to be precise in their operationalizations and measurement of injustice perceptions and to consider the theoretical grounding of their research in making injustice measurement choices.

Solusi Pendidikan Agama Islam Mengatasi Kenakalan Remaja Pada Keluarga Broken Home

Starting from the writer's anxiety with the spread of violence and social deviation as well as the social behavior of the future young generation today. Several factors that really stand out are the result of internal influences, namely family. Most children in their teens show signs of deviance and rebellion, whether overt or secretly. The author is well aware that many other factors influence these things. However, juvenile delinquency treatment is often found due to the broken home factor. In this case, the family has an important role in creating children who have good morals in the future. One of them is by instilling good values in children, namely with Islamic religious education from an early age and ever since childhood. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with the interview method. Informants are the parents or guardians of the student. The purpose of this paper is to find out how parents teach religious education, what are the supporting and inhibiting factors of Islamic religious education and the best solutions in Islamic religious education in broken home families

ضوابط اختصاص قضاء الأحداث فی التشریعین المصری والأردنی

لقد عملت التشريعات الحديثة ومنها (التشريع الأردني والتشريع المصري) على التمييز في المعاملة الجزائية بين المجرمين البالغين والأحداث الجانحين، فخصتهم بإجراءات جزائية وأحکام قانونية خاصة وجزاءات وتدابير مناسبة، ترتکز على تطبيق تدابير ملائمة لهم، أملا في إصلاحهم وتهذيبهم وإعادة إدماجهم في المجتمع. کما إن من أهم مظاهر حماية الأطفال الجانحين مرتکبي الجريمة تتمثل في وجود محاکم جنائية خاصة للطفل في أمرهم وکذلک في عدة قواعد إجرائية يجب اتباعها أمام هذه المحاکم، وحرصا من المشرع على إصلاح الحدث وتأهيله اجتماعيا قام بإنشاء محاکم جنائية خاصة للأحداث. وتعتبر ظاهرة جنوح الأحداث من أهم الظواهر الاجتماعية التي تواجه مختلف دول العالم وحظيت هذه الظاهرة بالکثير من الاهتمام في عالمنا المعاصر عموما وتزايد أهميتها عندما يکون مرتکبو الجرائم من فئة الأحداث، کون هذه الفئة تشکل نسبة کبيرة في أي مجتمع وهذا يؤدي إلى المساس بالمجتمع في أهم مصادرة الأساسية التي يعتمد عليها في بنائه المستقبلي إضافة إلى أن انحراف الأحداث يعتبر من أهم جذور الجريمة ويقوم في أدواره الأولى بطريقة فعالة. وتختلف القواعد المنظمة لاختصاص محاکم الأحداث عن غيرها من المحاکم الجنائية منها ما يتعلق بالاختصاص الشخصي والنوعي ومنها ما يتعلق بالاختصاص المکاني، وتختص محکمة الأطفال (الأحداث) اختصاصا شخصيا بنظر قضايا معينة لفئة معينة من المجرمين أو المتهمين دون غيرها بشکل استشاري لا يشارکها في ذلک غيرها من المحاکم. Recent legislation (Jordanian and Egyptian) differentiates in the treatment of juvenile delinquents in criminal law by establishing criminal procedures, special legal provisions and appropriate sanctions and measures based on the application of appropriate measures in the hope of their reform, education and reintegration into society. in order to ensure the reform and social rehabilitation of juveniles, the legislature has established special juvenile criminal courts. Juvenile delinquency is one of the most important social phenomena facing various countries of the world. this phenomenon has received considerable attention in the contemporary world in general and is becoming increasingly important when the perpetrators of crimes are juveniles, since the latter constitute a large proportion of any society in addition, juvenile delinquency is considered one of the most important roots of crime and it plays its early roles in an effective manner. The rules governing the jurisdiction of juvenile courts differ from those of other criminal courts, including ratione personae, ratione materiae and ratione loci. The juvenile court has personal jurisdiction to hear certain cases only for certain categories of offenders or accused persons in an advisory manner not shared by other courts.

Modification of hostile interpretation bias and self-reported aggression in juvenile delinquents: A randomized controlled trial

Background/ObjectiveThe social information processing model holds that aggressive behavior is closely related to the hostile interpretation of ambiguous social cues, suggesting the possibility that an intervention that reduces hostile interpretations could reduce aggression. This study in Mainland China evaluated the remediating effects of cognitive bias modification for interpretation (CBM-I) on the hostile interpretation bias and self-reported aggressive behaviors of male juvenile delinquents, taking into account initial hostile interpretation bias as a possible moderator of the intervention effect. MethodFifty-six male juvenile delinquents aged 16-18 were recruited and randomly assigned to the CBM-I group (n = 28) or the Waiting-List group (n = 28). Interpretation bias and self-reported aggressive behavior were assessed at pre-test and post-test. ResultsThe positive interpretations of participants in the CBM-I group were significantly increased compared with participants in the Waiting-List group. The intervention effect of CBM-I on self-reported physical aggression was significant only for juvenile delinquents with high pre-test hostile interpretation bias. ConclusionsCBM-I can significantly improve the positive interpretation bias of juvenile delinquents, and reduce the self-reported physical aggression for some male juvenile delinquents. The results have implications for providing low-cost and high-efficiency intervention for juvenile delinquents’ self-reported aggression behavior.

FAMILY DISADVANTAGE AS A FACTOR OF JUVENILE CRIME

The relevance of the study is caused by the fact that raising children in a family is a complex process that covers the influence of the whole environment and microclimate in the family to the formation of the child. The article aims to carry out a theoretical analysis of family unhappiness as a factor in juvenile delinquency. The article highlights the causes of social maladaptation of the child-related to the family; states the consequences of the negative influence of the family on the formation of personality; presents the influence of family unhappiness on juvenile delinquency in interaction with other environmental factors; und out the objective and subjective circumstances which promote the incorrect moral formation of the person in a family are; It was found that families that contribute to the formation of the personality of a juvenile offender are divided into families with negative moral and legal characteristics of parents and families with limited educational opportunities of adults. The authors determined that most juvenile offenders were brought up in disadvantaged families; it is noted that minors adopt habits and patterns of their future behavior from their parents in the domestic situations in which they find themselves. Methods used: analysis of socio-pedagogical, pedagogical, and psychological literature to highlight various aspects of the impact of unfavorable family environment on the development of criminal behavior of minors. The study found that early detection of children prone to delinquency and early intervention to prevent and prevent situations in conflict with the law, strengthening their parents' educational competence, and reducing the vulnerabilities of such parents, are crucial. family, and helping to get out of a difficult life situation.

CHALLENGES FOR PROFESSIONALS IN THE EFFICIENT APPLICATION OF CUSTODIAL EDUCATIONAL MEASURES

The institutionalization of juveniles and young offenders who perform a custodial educational measure in an educational centre raises a number of challenges both economic and social with direct consequences in terms of the effectiveness of their resocialization and reintegration into society. That is why an important change was felt in the criminal and social policies for the prevention and treatment of juvenile delinquency in Romanian society and the ways of prevention, intervention and post-intervention developed by institutions with the role of socialization, adaptation and social control of young people were considerably diversified. This paper is part of a larger research that aimed to identify the psycho-social effects of educational measures of deprivation of liberty applied to young offenders in Romania. The research participants (n = 12) are professionals who work in two educative centres in Romania, Târgu Ocna Educative Centre and Buziaş Educative Centre. The research method used to collect the data was the focus group. The research conclusions show us that the educational measure of internment in an educative centre must activate processes of responsibility, favouring the change of personal lifestyles and social and family relations. The intervention of specialists, focused mainly on education, work, religion and cultural, recreational and sports activities, must respond to the principle of individualization, must be modulated by the personality needs of each, based primarily on the individual resources of each. Our research demonstrates that all these results can be achieved only through continuous and adequate training of professionals working with juvenile delinquents.

Links between adverse childhood experiences, psychopathological symptoms and recidivism risk in juvenile delinquents

Research in the field of developmental psycho-criminology shows that conduct disorders and deviant behaviours are frequently associated with traumatic and adverse developmental experiences. Personality traits and psychopathological symptoms also increase the risk of criminality. However, the role of psychopathological symptoms in the relationship between adverse childhood experiences and offending has rarely been researched. The present study was designed to throw further light on these issues by analysing risk factors in a group of adolescents and young adults in a juvenile detention centre in southern Italy. Results support the idea that the accumulation of risk factors is a major factor in recidivism and highlight the key role played by the contexts and emotional environments in which children and adolescents grow up. They also underline the link between paternal antipathy and hostile behaviours and the potential impact of paternal antipathy and hostility on triggering delinquent trajectories. Our study’s main limitations are its small sample size and the absence of longitudinal measures. Nevertheless, combining detailed measures of a wide variety of factors with risk assessments drawn up by professionals who work with young offenders provided insights into the most suitable interventions for young delinquents. More precisely, because young offenders are victims of adverse childhood experiences as well as perpetrators of delinquent acts, interventions aimed at changing their life courses must adopt a global perspective that encompasses both their personal characteristics and their family circumstances, in order to provide an external environment conducive to non-recidivism.

The Chicago School of Sociology and Youth Research: The Legacy of W. I. Thomas. From the Polish Peasant in Europe and America to the Child in America

During his career, William I. Thomas richly contributed to the development of youth research, both within the University of Chicago and outside the academy, in contact with social agencies. Moving from a broad focus on the studies carried out by the Chicago School of Sociology, the paper aims at tracing Thomas’ contribution and legacy to the advancement of youth research, in order to recognise his influence on the definition of the fields of investigation, the theories, and the research methods employed. The paper first considers the analysis of the women reformers affiliated with the Hull House . The core of the analysis aims at re-evaluating Thomas’ contribution, taking into specific consideration three of his works . On this basis, in the last section, the paper attempts to recover his legacy through the studies carried out by the young scholars who worked at the Department of Sociology and in its affiliated institutes and projects. Paying specific attention to the suggestions he offered, with specific reference to the analysis of the lives of young people with migrants background, young women and the programs for the treatment of delinquency, helps to identify the main strengths and challenges of the first comprehensive study of ‘urban youth’, that – over time – have inspired fruitful perspectives of analysis and important research experiences.

From Punishment to Control: Assessing Juvenile Diversion in China

China’s juvenile justice system has grown and changed substantially since the 1980s. While considerable research focuses on institutional treatment of juvenile delinquents, little attention has been paid to the diversion processes and measures that allow troubled juveniles to be directed away from the formal justice system. Through a comparison with juvenile justice in the United States, this article aims to investigate the development of the juvenile diversion framework in China. We argue that despite their similar efforts to divert juvenile delinquents from traditional court proceedings, in practice China’s diversionary arrangements diverge from those of their US counterparts. Unlike in the United States, Chinese juvenile diversion does not operate according to welfarist or restorative models. Rather, juvenile diversion in China is a managerialism-driven scheme that rests on two key pillars: institutional diversion, which imposes punishment and control on juvenile offenders pursuant to their level of offending and dangerousness, and noninstitutional diversion, which revolves around risk-based management and correction through community-level interventions. We conclude that China’s distinctive sociolegal culture and political priorities have shaped a practice that appears to be at odds with the officially advertised narratives of the state’s juvenile justice policy.

The association between psychopathy and delinquency in juveniles: A three-level meta-analysis

Abstract Background Psychopathy has repeatedly been linked with delinquency and criminal recidivism of adults. With the increase of studies examining psychopathic traits in juveniles, it is important to also study this association in juveniles to increase the effectiveness of preventive interventions for juvenile delinquency. Purpose The primary aim of the present meta-analysis was to examine the association between psychopathic traits and delinquency in juveniles. The second aim was to examine which factors (i.e., type of delinquency, type of psychopathic trait, and other study- and participant characteristics) moderate the association between psychopathy and juvenile delinquent behavior. Method The data were analyzed in three-level meta-analytic models. Results In total, 87 studies were included, which used 74 independent samples and reported on 358 effect sizes. Psychopathy was moderately and positively associated with juvenile delinquency (r = 0.24, p Conclusion Psychopathy in juveniles is associated with current and future offense behavior. Therefore, assessing psychopathy in juveniles is important for strengthening intervention efforts targeting juvenile delinquency.
