参与少年司法的青年中至少有三分之一遭受过虐待儿童。因此,儿童福利样本提供了一种手段,以审查儿童福利服务如何缓和虐待和犯罪之间的关系,提供必要的信息,以便定制服务以破坏这一联系。本文通过考察青少年与儿童福利经历、心理健康和药物滥用服务收据的关系,并特别注意种族和性别差异,有助于了解青少年可能参与少年司法的情况。在对涉及儿童福利的青少年出生队列进行的多因素分析中,精神健康服务与少年司法有关,药物滥用服务对白人男孩具有预测性,对女孩则对家庭外安置具有预测作用。对于外出安置的青少年,心理健康服务与青少年司法和药物滥用服务的可能性增加相关,而集体关怀则预示着女孩和白人青年的青少年司法。
At least one third of youth involved with juvenile justice experienced child maltreatment. Child welfare samples thus provide a means to examine how child welfare services moderate the relationship between maltreatment and delinquency, producing information essential for tailoring services to disrupt this link. This article contributes to understandings of which youth are likely to become involved with juvenile justice by examining its relationships with child welfare experiences and mental health and substance abuse service receipt, with particular attention to racial and gender differences. In multivariate analyses of a birth cohort of child welfare-involved youth, mental health services are associated with juvenile justice, and substance abuse services are predictive for White boys and out-of-home placement for girls. For youth experiencing out-of-home placement, mental health services are associated with increased likelihood of juvenile justice and substance abuse services with decreased likelihood, while congregate care predicts juvenile justice for girls and White youth.
