Given recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings regarding the constitutionality of juveniles who received mandated life sentences, questions have arisen in the field of criminology regarding how these offenders will adjust if someday released. Risk scores were calculated for 59 male juvenile homicide offenders (JHOs) based upon the eight domains in the Youth Level of Supervision/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) and used to examine recidivism among the 48 JHOs who were released. Sample subjects were charged as adults for murder and attempted murder in the 1980s, convicted, and sentenced to adult prison. Chi-square analyses were used to assess the relationship between risk score category and two measures of recidivism, which were general arrests and violent offenses. Results indicated risk scores failed to predict both general and violent recidivism. Implications of the findings and directions for future research are discussed.
鉴于美国最高法院最近就被判处强制性无期徒刑的青少年的合宪性做出的裁决，犯罪学领域出现了一些问题，即如果这些罪犯有朝一日获释，他们将如何适应。根据青少年监管/案件管理量表（YLS/CMI）的八个领域，为59名男性青少年杀人罪犯（JHO）计算了风险分数，并用于研究48名获释的JHO的再犯情况。样本对象在20世纪80年代作为成年人被指控犯有谋杀罪和谋杀未遂罪，被定罪并被判处成人监狱。卡方分析用于评估风险分数类别与两种再犯衡量标准（即一般逮捕和暴力犯罪）之间的关系。结果表明，风险分数未能预测一般再犯和暴力再犯。讨论了研究结果的意义和未来研究的方向。
