“…In addition, stable marital relationships and family social bonds may predict desistance in adulthood (Sampson & Laub, 1993). Desisters also report stronger, more positive family relationships than their persistent counterparts (van Domburgh, Loeber, Bezemer, Stallings, & Stouthamer-Loeber, 2009). Social capital derived from family connections may explain the positive effects of family ties (Farrall & Calverley, 2006).…”

“…A este nível, destacam-se dois argumentos-chave empiricamente validados. Em primeiro lugar, o comportamento delinquente persistente tende a iniciar durante a infância (Le Blanc & Fréchette, 1989;Kazemian & Farrington, 2005;Moffitt, 1993;Van Domburgh, Loeber, Bezemer, Stallings, & Stouthamer-Loeber, 2009). Nesta linha de análise, vários autores propõem trajetórias-tipo em que a persistência de comportamentos delinquentes é geralmente definida pela sua precocidade e estabilidade ao longo da vida (Andersson et al, 2012;Fréchette & Le Blanc, 1987;Moffitt, 1993Moffitt, , 2006 …”

“…Através de um desenho longitudinal seria ainda possível avaliar diferentes tipos de percursos de reincidência, considerando a evolução, a severidade e o tipo de crimes praticados (cf. Mulder et al, 2012;Van Domburgh et al, 2009). Também a constituição da amostra pode ser apontada como limitação, na medida em que não é representativa do universo de jovens com medida tutelar educativa em Portugal.…”

“…Consideramos também fundamental perceber que fatores promovem a desistência em percursos de delinquência persistente. Sabendo já que determinados fatores protetores, por exemplo familiares, estão relacionados com o abandono de comportamentos delinquentes (Van Domburgh et al, 2009), será fundamental conhecer as especificidades e o modo como atuam os fatores que promovem a desistência em percursos delinquentes caracterizados pela persistência.…”

Resumo: Diversas dimensões relativas à família, como a estrutura e as dinâmicas familiares (cf., Contreras, Molina & Cano, 2011), e relacionadas com o grupo de pares (cf. Cottle, Lee & Heilbrun, 2001) têm sido associadas à reincidência de comportamentos delinquentes em jovens. Trazendo novos contributos para esta discussão, o objetivo do estudo apresentado consiste em avaliar como diferentes dimensões de risco familiares e do grupo de pares variam de acordo com diferentes percursos de reincidência (i.e., não reincidentes, reincidentes intermédios, reincidentes persistentes). Recorrendo a uma amostra de 105 jovens em cumprimento de medida tutelar educativa, este estudo foi realizado em Portugal e centrou-se na reincidência dos jovens no contacto com o sistema de justiça como indicador de percursos delinquentes persistentes. Os resultados revelam que mais de metade dos jovens da amostra (54.3%) são reincidentes, tendo cumprido medidas tutelares educativas anteriores. Entre as variáveis significativamente associadas à reincidência, destacam-se a existência de contactos anteriores com o sistema de proteção e os comportamentos delinquentes do grupo de pares. Em conjunto, esses fatores parecem relacionar-se com o envolvimento em atos delinquentes, enfatizando a necessidade de serem desenvolvidas intervenções integradas para prevenir a reincidência.Abstract: Different family factors such as structure, family dynamics (cf. Contreras, Molina & Cano, 2011) and peer-related variables (cf. Cottle, Lee & Heilbrun, 2001) have been linked to recidivism among young offenders. Bringing new contributions to this discussion, our goal was to evaluate how different family and peer factors of risk differ according to various recidivism pathways (e.g., non-reoffenders; moderate reoffenders; persistent reoffenders). Taking a sample of 105 young offenders, complying with youth justice measures, the present study has been developed in Portugal and focuses on recidivism as an indicator of persistent reoffending. Results showed that more than half of young offenders in the sample (54.3%) are reoffenders, as they have already complied with former youth justice measures. Among the most relevant variables associated with recidivism are a previous connection with the protection system, and the criminal behavior of the young offenders' peers. Together, these factors may relate to delinquent behavior, highlighting the need to develop integrated interventions, in order to prevent recidivism.Palavras-chave: medidas tutelares educativas, reincidência, fatores de risco, família, grupo de pares.

“…Among children with CP, those whose antisocial behaviour persists display more aggressive behaviour. 20,21 While some studies suggest that instrumental aggression is the precursor of criminality, 22 others suggest that it is reactive aggression, 23 and others suggest that it is bullying. 24 Other studies of children with CP have shown that those whose antisocial behaviour is likely to persist are callous or uncaring toward others, 25,26 but among both adolescent 27 and adult offenders the alternate subtype, characterized by high levels of anxiety, is common.…”

Objective: To examine associations of teacher-rated conduct problems (CP) and hurtful and uncaring behaviours (HUB) at age 6 and 10 with criminal convictions up to age 24 among 1593 males and 1423 females, and to determine whether aggressive behaviour at age 12 mediated the associations of CP and HUB with criminal convictions. Method:Teachers assessed HUB and CP at ages 6 and 10 and ratings above the 90th percentile at each age and within each sex were used to assign participants to 1 of 4 groups. Teachers assessed proactive, reactive, indirect, and verbal aggression at age 12. Juvenile and adult criminal records were obtained. Results:High CP and HUB males, aged 6, were 4 times more likely than males with lower ratings to acquire convictions for violent crimes and 5 times more likely to acquire convictions for nonviolent crimes by age 24. High HUB and CP females, aged 6, were 5 times more likely than females with lower ratings to have a conviction for a nonviolent offence by age 24. Among males, both aged 6 and 10, high HUB without CP were associated with elevations at risk of convictions for violent and nonviolent crimes, while among females the elevations at risk were limited to convictions for nonviolent crimes. Different types of aggressive behaviour mediated associations of high HUB and CP with subsequent criminal convictions, but not the association of HUB without CP and crime. Conclusions:Teachers in elementary schools rated behaviours that, from age 6 onward, significantly predicted criminal convictions into early adulthood. W W W L'évaluation des comportements d'enfants par des enseignants prédit le crime chez les adolescents et les adultes parmi 3016 hommes et femmesObjectif : Examiner les associations des problèmes de conduite (PC) et des comportements blessants et insensibles (CBI) cotés par des enseignants, à 6 et 10 ans, avec des condamnations au criminel jusqu'à l'âge de 24 ans chez 1593 hommes et 1423 femmes, et déterminer si le comportement agressif à l'âge de 12 ans aidait les associations des PC et des CBI avec les condamnations au criminel. Méthode Clinical Implications• Teachers' ratings of their pupils' behaviours, as early as age 6, predict criminal convictions through adolescence and into early adulthood.• Childhood interventions to reduce these behavioural antecedents of criminality have the potential to reduce criminality and promote good psychosocial functioning.• Teachers' ratings could be used to assess the effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing the behavioural antecedents of criminality. Limitations• No data were available to compare the present measure of HUB with a measure of CU traits.• The sample was only followed to age 24.A small group of males and females who display CP that onset in childhood and remain stable across the lifespan 1,2 are responsible for most nonviolent and violent crimes.3,4 Presently, children who become criminal offenders are not easily distinguished from others with CP. [5][6][7] Further complicating the task of identifying at risk children is...
