Researchers have postulated associations between childhood trauma and delinquency, but few have examined the direction of these relationships prospectively and, specifically, with samples of delinquent girls. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between traumatic events and delinquency for girls in the juvenile justice system using a cross-lagged model. Developmental differences in associations as a function of high school entry status were also examined. The sample included 166 girls in the juvenile justice system who were mandated to community-based out-of-home care due to chronic delinquency. Overall, study results provide evidence that trauma and delinquency risk pathways vary according to high school entry status. Implications for future research and practice are discussed.
研究人员已推测童年创伤与犯罪行为之间存在关联，但很少有人前瞻性地研究这些关系的方向，特别是针对犯罪少女样本。本研究的目的是使用交叉滞后模型来研究少年司法系统中女孩的创伤事件与犯罪行为之间的关系。还考察了作为高中入学状态函数的关联中的发展差异。样本包括166名少年司法系统中的女孩，她们因长期犯罪而被要求接受社区家庭外照料。总体而言，研究结果表明，创伤和犯罪风险途径因高中入学状态而异。文中讨论了对未来研究和实践的启示。
