“…In the psychosocial domain, ETV is associated strongly with aggression, but CM is linked only modestly with aggression (Baskin & Sommers, 2014; Fitton, Yu, & Fazel, 2020). Furthermore, Stevens and Mennen (2018) find that ETV predicts aggressive behavior, but only for youth who do not experience physical abuse by a caregiver. However, due to methodological limitations in the assessment and analysis of CM and ETV, we still do not understand, fully, which types and dose (i.e.…”

Individual and environmental correlates of childhood maltreatment and exposure to community violence: Utilizing a latent profile and a multilevel meta-analytic approach

Background Childhood maltreatment (CM) and exposure to community violence (ETV) are correlated with physical/mental health and psychosocial problems. Typically, CM and ETV are examined separately, by subtypes within category, or collapsed across both into one category of adversity. Consequently, research is limited in identifying subgroups of individuals with different amounts of exposure to both CM and ETV. Accordingly, we lack sufficient understanding of the extent to which problems associated with CM and ETV vary based on the amount (i.e. dose) of exposure to both of these experiences. Methods We used 20 samples (28,300 individuals) to estimate person-centered profiles of CM and ETV occurrence and co-occurrence within each sample. An individual data multilevel meta-analytic framework was used to determine the average effect size across samples for different profiles and conditional probability correlations within sociodemographic, neighborhood, health, mental health, and psychosocial domains. Results The profile characterized by high levels of CM and high levels of ETV correlated with stressful life events, depression and anxiety symptoms, and general indicators of externalizing behaviors. CM predominant profiles were associated with mental health diagnoses and treatment. ETV predominant profiles associated with risk-taking/violent behavior and neighborhood-level disadvantage. However, nuance based on the dose of CM or ETV was evident. Conclusions It is important to identify subgroups based on the amount of exposure to CM and ETV. These subgroups have differential relationships with correlates across domains. Greater delineation and description of the lived experience will allow for more precision in addressing the burden of childhood adversity.

“…In both general population and legal system-involved samples, existing research on the co-occurrence of PH and ETV predominately estimates stressful life experiences by collapsing across subtypes. Commonly, researchers create a binary exposure metric (e.g., exposed versus not exposed) for each experience that indicates whether individuals have some form of exposure to each subtype (Lynch & Cicchetti, 1998;Stevens & Mennen, 2018;Valentino et al, 2012). However, this binary approach does not account for any features of the experience (e.g., frequency, change over time; see Lacey & Minnis, 2020 for a review).…”

“…For all analyses, we examined the robustness of any relationships by considering additional factors (i.e., demographics, broader environmental factors, individual difference factors) that also relate to PH, ETV, and/or mental health. Based on prior work (Cecil et al, 2014;Estrada et al, 2021;Stevens & Mennen, 2018), we hypothesized that trajectories characterized by low levels of both subtypes, high levels of one subtype, and high levels of both subtypes would emerge. We further hypothesized that trajectories primarily characterized by higher levels of PH relative to ETV would predict greater dysfunction in internalizing outcomes; trajectories primarily characterized by higher levels of ETV relative to PH would predict more antisocial behavior; and trajectories characterized by high levels of one or both subtypes would promote dysfunction across outcomes.…”

Trajectories of parental harshness and exposure to community violence differentially predict externalizing and internalizing mental health problems in legal system-involved youth

Youth with legal system involvement are especially likely to experience parental harshness (PH) and exposure to community violence (ETV), two common forms of life stress. However, most studies examine these stressors separately or collapse across them in ways that preclude examination of their co-occurrence. Consequently, it is unclear 1) how PH and ETV simultaneously fluctuate across development and 2) how these fluctuations predict future mental health problems in legal system-involved youth. We used group-based multi-trajectory modeling to estimate simultaneous trajectories of PH and ETV in 1027 legal system-involved youth and regression analyses to understand how trajectory membership predicted mental health problems three years later. Four trajectories of co-occurrence were identified (1: Low; 2: Moderate and Decreasing; 3: Moderate PH/High ETV; 4: High PH/Moderate ETV). Compared to the Low trajectory, all trajectories with PH/ETV elevations predicted violent crime and substance problems; trajectory 3 (Moderate PH/High ETV) predicted nonviolent crime and depression/anxiety symptoms; trajectory 4 (High PH/Moderate ETV) predicted depression diagnosis. These results elucidate how PH and ETV typically co-occur across adolescence for legal system-involved youth. They also reveal important commonalities and dissociations among types of mental health problems.

Adolescents’ legal socialization in extracurricular environment by art technologies

et al. 2022

The objective of the article was to analyze the legal specialization of adolescents in an extracurricular environment through art technology. The published results highlight the theoretical and practical aspects of the problem of the legal socialization of adolescents, which takes place in an extracurricular environment. The methodology of the research was represented by the theoretical study of this problem in its aspects: philosophical, legal, pedagogical, sociological and psychological, as well as by the experimental work with a sample of (342 adolescents). It has been shown that for the legal socialization of adolescents in non-formal education centers it is necessary: the application of axiological ideas and concepts of legal education, philosophy, legal pedagogy of adolescents in education through art technologies; the organization of cognitive-communicative interaction and communication as a means of increasing the legal socialization of the; consideration of the age characteristics, perspective and value changes of adolescents growing up in society. It is concluded that the structure of the legal socialization of adolescents should be considered as a holistic system in which different dimensions interact.
