在过去十年中，对接触儿童福利和少年司法系统的青年的特点和系统经验的了解有所增加。这些年轻人通常被作为一个群体进行研究，并被称为“交叉青年”。虽然这些文献对谁是交叉青年提供了有价值的见解，但研究几乎没有区分导致双系统接触的不同途径的特征和经验。这项研究回顾了目前对双重系统青年的了解（即，同时接触少年司法和儿童福利系统的青年），并引入了一个框架，以一致地界定双重系统的青年及其途径。然后，使用10至18岁的青少年队列的相关行政数据探索该框架的实用性，并在三个地点首次向犯罪法庭提出请愿：2010年至2014年期间，伊利诺伊州库克县（N = 14,170）; 2010年至2014年期间，俄亥俄州凯霍加县（N = 11,441）; 2013年至2014年期间，纽约市（N = 1272）。调查结果显示，总体而言，双系统接触的流行率很高，从44.8%到70.3%不等，而且青年接触这两个系统的方式差异很大。具体而言，在所有研究中心，非并发系统接触比并发系统接触更普遍，并且这些不同途径组内和组间的个体特征和系统体验各不相同。基于研究结果，未来的研究对双系统青年和发展合作的做法和政策的影响进行了讨论。
Insight into the characteristics and system experiences for youth who touch both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems has increased over the last decade. These youth are typically studied as one population and referred to as “crossover youth.” While this literature contributes valuable insight into who crossover youth are, studies are virtually silent on distinguishing characteristics and experiences across different pathways leading to dual system contact. This study reviews what is currently known about dual system youth generally (i.e., youth who have contact with both the juvenile justice and child welfare systems) and introduces a framework for consistently defining dual system youth and their pathways. The utility of the framework is then explored using linked administrative data for cohorts of youth aged 10 to 18 years old with a first petition to delinquency court in three sites: Cook County, Illinois between 2010 and 2014 (N = 14,170); Cuyahoga County, Ohio between 2010 and 2014 (N = 11,441); and New York City between 2013 and 2014 (N = 1272). The findings show a high prevalence of dual system contact overall, ranging from 44.8 to 70.3%, as well as wide variation in the ways in which youth touched both systems. Specifically, non-concurrent system contact is more prevalent than concurrent system contact in all sites, and individual characteristics and system experiences vary within and across these different pathway groups. Based on study findings, implications for future research on dual system youth and for developing collaborative practices and policies across the systems are discussed.
