Serious offenses against persons perpetrated by juveniles raise fundamental questions about the background, causes, and prevention of future crime. The current study addresses the potential of future crime of all juvenile homicide offenders (JHOs) in the Netherlands in the period 1992-2007. In contrast to former research on recidivism of JHOs, which has been merely descriptive, the present study integrates theoretical perspectives as to why some of these juveniles turn back to crime, while others do not. To this end, relationships are investigated between recidivism behavior and risk factors. Results indicate that male JHOs, and JHOs who maintain relationships with delinquents, run a greater risk of reoffending.
青少年实施的严重人身伤害犯罪提出了一些基本问题，涉及犯罪背景、原因以及未来犯罪的预防。本研究旨在调查荷兰 1992 年至 2007 年期间所有少年杀人罪犯（JHOs）的未来犯罪潜力。与之前仅具有描述性的青少年罪犯再犯率研究不同，本研究整合了一些理论观点，即为什么这些青少年中的一些人会重新犯罪，而另一些人则不会。为此，研究调查了再犯行为与风险因素之间的关系。结果表明，男性 JHOs 以及与犯罪者保持关系的 JHOs 再次犯罪的风险更大。
