尽管涉及司法系统的年轻人的抑郁症和自杀率增加，但对这一人群中的抑郁症风险因素知之甚少。因此，我们探讨了如何水平和变化的绝望和程序正义的看法预测抑郁和自杀的结果在司法系统涉及youth.HypothesesWe假设，更高的水平和增加的轨迹的绝望，以及感知的不公正，将预测抑郁症状和自杀意念在青春期和成年初显期。我们还期望程序不公正能够解释绝望与这些结果之间的关系。最后，我们假设，性别和种族/民族将温和的绝望和感知injustice.MethodData的影响，本研究的一部分，收集的途径，以Desistance研究。总共有1,354名青少年（男性年龄= 16.04岁; 86.4%为男性; 41.4%为非西班牙裔黑人，33.5%为西班牙裔，20.2%为非西班牙裔白色）被判犯有严重罪行。对于本研究，参与者回答了问题的程序正义，绝望，抑郁，自杀意念的措施，在11个时间点超过7 years.ResultsUsing潜在的增长曲线建模，我们发现部分支持我们的假设。具体来说，绝望的基线水平预测抑郁水平和青春期抑郁的增加（ps<。01）。此外，绝望的变化预测了整个青春期和成年期的抑郁症的相应变化（ps<。001）的情况下。同样，程序公正水平预测抑郁水平（p<. 001），和程序正义的变化对应的抑郁症的变化在成年期（p=. 01）。关于自杀意念，成年期初显期绝望的水平和变化预测相应的自杀意念结局（ps≤. 01）。与此同时，我们发现只有边际支持我们的调解模式（p=。05）。总的来说，结果并没有不同的性别或种族/ethnication.ConclusionsHopelessness和感知不公正是独特的预测抑郁症的青少年司法系统参与的青年。针对绝望和程序正义的预防性干预措施可能有助于减轻这一人群中抑郁症发病率的升高。
ObjectiveDespite increasing depression and suicide rates in justice-system-involved youth, little is known about depressogenic risk factors in this population. Therefore, we explored how levels of and changes in hopelessness and perceptions of procedural justice predicted depressive and suicidal outcomes in justice-system-involved youth.HypothesesWe hypothesized that higher levels and increasing trajectories of hopelessness, as well as of perceived injustice, would predict depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation across adolescence and emerging adulthood. We also expected that procedural injustice would explain the relation between hopelessness and these outcomes. Finally, we hypothesized that gender and race/ethnicity would moderate the influence of hopelessness and perceived injustice.MethodData for the present study were collected as part of the Pathways to Desistance study. In total, 1,354 adolescents (M age= 16.04 years; 86.4% male; 41.4% non-Hispanic Black, 33.5% Hispanic, 20.2% non-Hispanic White) convicted of serious offenses participated. For the present study, participants answered questions on measures of procedural justice, hopelessness, depression, and suicidal ideation across 11 time points over 7 years.ResultsUsing latent growth curve modeling, we found partial support for our hypotheses. Specifically, baseline levels of hopelessness predicted depression levels and increases in depression during adolescence (ps<. 01). Further, changes in hopelessness predicted corresponding changes in depression throughout adolescence and emerging adulthood (ps<. 001). Similarly, procedural justice levels predicted levels of depression (p<. 001), and changes in procedural justice corresponded to changes in depression during emerging adulthood (p=. 01). With regard to suicidal ideation, levels of and changes in hopelessness in emerging adulthood predicted corresponding suicidal ideation outcomes (ps≤. 01). Meanwhile, we found only marginal support for our mediation model (p=. 05). Collectively, results did not vary across gender or race/ethnicity.ConclusionsHopelessness and perceived injustice are unique predictors of depression for juvenile-justice-system-involved youth. Preventive interventions targeting both hopelessness and procedural justice could help attenuate elevated depression rates in this population.
