Juvenile recidivism risk assessment can be used to explore the specific risk factors that lead minors to commit crimes. The majority of minors have a limited relationship with the judicial system, but a few reoffend into adulthood. The aims of this study are to examine serious reoffenders' criminal trajectories and explore youth and adult recidivism. The participants comprise 260 juveniles aged from 14 to 18 years ( = 16.5, = 1.0) with a disciplinary record in the juvenile court of a Spanish province, who were sentenced to educational measures involving probation and confinement to a juvenile detention centre. Youth and adult recidivism was recorded over a follow-up period lasting from 1.5 to 6 years. The results show a profile of serious reoffenders with a moderate level of recidivism risk that increases during the follow-up period. Crimes against property were the most frequently committed, and juveniles who begin their criminal trajectories with this type of crime tend to reoffend into adulthood.
青少年再犯风险评估可用于探究导致未成年人犯罪的具体风险因素。大多数未成年人与司法系统的接触有限,但少数人会成年后再次犯罪。本研究的目的是考察严重再犯者的犯罪轨迹,并探究青少年和成年再犯情况。参与者包括260名年龄在14至18岁之间(平均年龄=16.5岁,标准差=1.0)、在西班牙某省少年法庭有违纪记录的青少年,他们被判处包括缓刑和拘留在少年拘留中心在内的教育措施。在长达1.5至6年的随访期内记录青少年和成年再犯情况。结果显示,严重再犯者的再犯风险处于中等水平,且在随访期内有所增加。财产犯罪是最常发生的犯罪类型,以这类犯罪开始其犯罪轨迹的青少年成年后往往会再次犯罪。
