“…Maximum parental education level was used to determine childhood SES; the participants' own educational level determined adulthood SES; both were presented as a 9-point education level scale (0-No high school diploma, 1-GED, 2-High school diploma, 3-Technical training, 4-Some college, no degree, 5-Associate degree, 6-Bachelor's degree, 7-Master's degree, 8-MD/PhD/JD/PharmD). Measures such as low SES, socioeconomic disadvantage or neighborhood deprivation in early life are considered forms of childhood deprivation (Berti & Pivetti, 2019;McLaughlin et al, 2014;Morris, Berk, Maes, Carvalho, & Puri, 2019;Webb et al, 2017). Further, education level is often used as an index of SES and has been shown to identify mental health inequalities (Reiss, 2013), is associated with physiological measures of stress (Ursache, Merz, Melvin, Meyer, & Noble, 2017) and is a strong predictor of physical health, namely cardiovascular disease risk (Winkleby, Jatulis, Frank, & Fortmann, 1992).…”

While stress may be a potential mechanism by which childhood threat and deprivation influence mental health, few studies have considered specific stress-related white matter pathways, such as the stria terminalis (ST) and medial forebrain bundle (MFB). Our goal was to examine the relationships between childhood adversity and ST and MFB structural integrity and whether these pathways may provide a link between childhood adversity and affective symptoms and disorders. Participants were young adults (n = 100) with a full distribution of maltreatment history and affective symptom severity. Threat was determined by measures of childhood abuse and repeated traumatic events. Socioeconomic deprivation (SED) was determined by a measure of childhood socioeconomic status (parental education). Participants underwent diffusion spectrum imaging. Human Connectome Project data was used to perform ST and MFB tractography; these tracts were used as ROIs to extract generalized fractional anisotropy (gFA) from each participant. Childhood threat was associated with ST gFA, such that greater threat was associated with less ST gFA. SED was also associated with ST gFA, however, conversely to threat, greater SED was associated with greater ST gFA. Additionally, threat was negatively associated with MFB gFA, and MFB gFA was negatively associated with post-traumatic stress symptoms. Our results suggest that childhood threat and deprivation have opposing influences on ST structural integrity, providing new evidence that the context of childhood adversity may have an important influence on its neurobiological effects, even on the same structure. Further, the MFB may provide a novel link between childhood threat and affective symptoms.

“…Studies found that socio-economic reasons such as family background (Aute et al (2020)), place of residence (Zhang (2016)), parents' education level (Chalfin and Deza (2019)), household income (Berti and Pivetti (2019)), gender (Kim 2021), and urbanisation (Wahab et al (2018)) are some contributing factors to the delinquent behaviour of adolescents. Hence, the delinquency rate among students in Shah Alam in this section is studied from socio-economic reasons under the following sub-themes: gender differences, parents' income, parents' educational level, parents' social status, and urbanisation.…”

“…Their parents only earn RM1000 (USD 240)-2000 (USD 480) monthly, while only 7.5% of them come from high-income families. Berti and Pivetti (2019) discussed the connection between economic disadvantage and antisocial behaviour and said that poverty leads to social misconduct and crimes. Browman et al (2019) also have similar findings.…”

Delinquent behaviour among school students is a great concern of governments and educational institutions. Although the authorities and civil society organisations have tried to control the growing trend of school violence, antisocial behaviour among students is significantly increasing. The low delinquency rate among school students in Shah Alam, a city closed to the Malaysian capital, inspired the researchers to explore the association between religiosity and delinquent behaviour. The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between religiosity and the delinquent behaviour of school students. This research employed a mixed method to collect the data. An instrument consisting of 101 questions prepared based on the Muslim Religiosity–Personality Inventory (MRPI) was administrated to measure the level of religiosity. A total of 107 secondary school students (58 boys, 49 girls) aged 13 to 14 years participated in the data collection. A semi-structured interview was used to collect the data from four school counsellors and discipline teachers to examine the relationship between religiosity and delinquency. This research found a moderate level of religiosity among students in Shah Alam while having an inverse relationship between religiosity and delinquency. The researchers, therefore, recommend religiosity as a successful mechanism to control delinquency among school students.

“…La delincuencia toma una dimensión diferente al incluir en el análisis el contexto; desde décadas pasadas se consideraban factores de riesgo: la pobreza (Berti y Pivetti, 2019), vivir en zonas de desempleo, baja supervisión de los padres y los AVE; todos ellos son observados, tanto como fac-tor de riesgo, como indicadores para contemplarlos dentro de propuestas de prevención (Hoffmann, 2003). Las razones para considerar el contexto socioeconómico, sobre todo de bajo nivel, se debe a los mayores estresores y una mayor utilización de estrategias de afrontamiento interno, principalmente al advertir que las familias de nivel medio alto utilizan más el apoyo social como estrategia de afrontamiento (Cracco y Blanco Larrieux, 2015); por último, respecto a esta propuesta, es pertinente señalar que no se puede considerar la pobreza en sí misma como un determinante, sino como parte de los estresores vitales y vinculados a políticas sociales y económicas.…”

Es un estudio cualitativo de registros autobiográficos de internos sentenciados por algún delito en un Centro Penitenciario de España; se estudian 23 historias mediante el análisis de narrativas para indagar las experiencias vividas de los Acontecimientos Vitales Estresantes, recurrentes en esta población, y cómo se van entrelazando en su desarrollo de vida; estos hechos son considera-dos sucesos que impactan la vida, e incluso, la identidad de los individuos (Sanz Rodríguez et al., 2009). Los resultados permitieron configurar un mapa donde destacan tres grandes categorías re-currentes de AVE en las autobiografías, integradas cada una por dos elementos afines: presencia de adicciones y delito, trayectoria escolar y estilo educativo/relacional, y por último, violencia intrafamiliar y ruptura de pareja.
