criminological perspective on Juvenile sex Offender policy
Social Science Research Network, 2017Co-Authors: Franklin E ZimringAbstract:Persons under 18 are in the very early years of sexual maturity and lack both experience and perspective. When Juveniles commit sexual offenses, the behavior is typically not violent and most often involves conduct only referred to authorities because of an age difference between the Offender and the victim. Rates of future sexual offending in later years are quite low for most Juvenile sex Offenders and on current data the presence or absence of a Juvenile sex offense is not a significant predictor of sexual offending in young adulthood. Under these circumstances, requiring registration and public notification of Juvenile sex Offenders is very poor crime control policy as well as gross injustice to the Juvenile Offender.

the influence of sex Offender registration on Juvenile sexual recidivism
Criminal Justice Policy Review, 2009Co-Authors: Elizabeth J Letourneau, Dipankar Bandyopadhyay, Debajyoti Sinha, Kevin S ArmstrongAbstract:This study examines the influence of South Carolina's sex Offender registration policy on Juvenile Offender recidivism risk. Juvenile male sexual Offender (N = 1,275) risk of recidivism was examined with an average 9-year follow-up. Survival analysis was used to examine the influence of covariates, including the primary time-dependent covariate registration status at time, on risk of new sexual offense charges and adjudications. A competing risks model was used to explain the effects of covariates on different types of recidivism events (sexual, assault, and other). Registration status at time had a significant effect on risk of new “other” offense charges and a marginal (p < .10) effect on risk of sexual offense charges (survival analysis) but no statistical evidence of affecting risk of new adjudications. Results suggest a surveillance effect leading to unnecessary charges for registered (vs. nonregistered) youth. State and national policy implications are discussed.

dating violence among high school students
Social Work, 1992Co-Authors: Libby BergmanAbstract:Students from three midwestern high schools were surveyed regarding their experience with sexual, physical, and verbal dating violence. There were 631 respondents from suburban, rural, and inner-city schools. The survey explored the proportion of students who experienced violence and the characteristics and correlates of the violence. The proportion of females who reported sexual violence was 15.5 percent; the proportion was the same for physical violence. However, it rose to 24.6 percent reporting sexual or physical violence or both. The proportion of male respondents reporting violence was lower: 4.4 percent for sexual violence, 7.8 percent for physical violence, and 9.9 percent for both sexual and physical violence. Significant correlates of violence included dating patterns, grade point average, and the community in which the student lived. Respondents said violence tended to recur, but they did not disclose this to parents or officials. Implications with regard to the causes, treatment, and prevention of violence are discussed.

youth Offender care needs assessment tool yo cnat an actuarial risk assessment tool for predicting problematic child rearing situations in Juvenile Offenders on the basis of police records
Psychological Assessment, 2013Co-Authors: Claudia E Van Der Put, G J J M StamsAbstract:In the Juvenile justice system, much attention is paid to estimating the risk for recidivism among Juvenile Offenders. However, it is also important to estimate the risk for problematic child-rearing situations (care needs) in Juvenile Offenders, because these problems are not always related to recidivism. In the present study, an actuarial care needs assessment tool for Juvenile Offenders, the Youth Offender Care Needs Assessment Tool (YO-CNAT), was developed to predict the probability of (a) a future supervision order imposed by the child welfare agency, (b) a future entitlement to care indicated by the youth care agency, and (c) future incidents involving child abuse, domestic violence, and/or sexual norm trespassing behavior at the Juvenile's address. The YO-CNAT has been developed for use by the police and is based solely on information available in police registration systems. It is designed to assist a police officer without clinical expertise in making a quick assessment of the risk for problematic child-rearing situations. The YO-CNAT was developed on a sample of 1,955 Juvenile Offenders and was validated on another sample of 2,045 Juvenile Offenders. The predictive validity (area under the receiver-operating-characteristic curve) scores ranged between .70 (for predicting future entitlement to care) and .75 (for predicting future worrisome incidents at the Juvenile's address); therefore, the predictive accuracy of the test scores of the YO-CNAT was sufficient to justify its use as a screening instrument for the police in deciding to refer a Juvenile Offender to the youth care agency for further assessment into care needs.

the status of school discipline and violence
American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 2000Co-Authors: Troy A AdamsAbstract:This article examines school discipline and violence. First, a distinction is made between different notions of violence. Clarity is brought to the concept of discipline, and an attempt is also made to demonstrate how these concepts of violence and discipline are wed. Second, the article traces approximately four decades of school disciplinary techniques and attempts to explain their growth and decline. The techniques range from corporal punishment of the past to the medicalization of disruptive youths in the present. Third, the conflict resolution and peaceable school movements are surveyed. Fourth, the findings from a number of studies are reviewed to provide a synthesis of the current research and lay the basis for a set of recommendations for constructing orderly school environments and reducing violence.
