“…In looking at recidivism over a ten-year period, Schmidt, Campbell, and Houlding (2011) found that the YLS/CMI predicted recidivism for males better than it did for females. Baird et al (2013) also found that the tool predicted recidivism better for boys than girls.…”

“…These follow-up times ranged from a mere six months to over ten years. While it is true that most offenders who recidivate do so rather quickly after being released from custody (Schmidt et al, 2011), the range of follow up times may present a problem. It is possible that offenders either desist from crime temporarily after being released and then start back up, or an offender who is released from custody commits crimes that are not detected for a period of time before they are caught again.…”

“…While empirical evidence suggests that adult females would benefit from a gender-specific risk assessment tool (Holtfreter & Cupp, 2007;Holtfreter & Morash, 2003;Holtfreter, Reisig, & Morash, 2004;Van Voorhis, Wright, Salisbury, & Bauman, 2010), the topic has not been as extensively studied for juveniles, and findings are mixed. Some studies have found that gender-neutral tools do not accurately predict risks for juvenile females, and suggest that they may benefit from a gender-specific risk assessment tool (Baird et al, 2013;Schmidt, Campbell & Houlding, 2011). Other have found that the gender-neutral tool works equally well for both genders (Barnes, 2013;Campbell et al, 2014;Flores, 2013;Gossner, 2003;Jung & Rawana, 1999;Schmidt, Hoge, & Gomes, 2005;Stockdale, 2008;, and it has even been found that the gender-neutral tool works better on females than males (Onifade, Davidson, & Campbell, 2009).…”

Although young males are still the primary perpetrators of juvenile crime, girls are increasingly coming into contact with the criminal justice system. While girls may have different pathways to crime and risks for recidivism than boys, their risk to reoffend is typically assessed using a gender-neutral tool that is based on social learning theory: a theory originally developed and tested on males. With the appropriateness of using gender-neutral tools to assess female criminality coming into question, a number of researchers have searched for a resolution. To date, mixed findings on the predictive validity of risk assessment tools have not provided any definitive answers. To help assess the predictive validity of the Youth Level of Service Inventory, separate meta-analyses were conducted for male and female juvenile offenders using previous studies. The mean effect sizes were compared in order to determine whether the predictive validity is similar for both males and females. With the exception of violent recidivism, results indicate that the YLS/CMI works equally well for male and female offenders. The implications of these findings for theory, research, and correctional policy are discussed.ii

“…Although research supports the predictive validity of both the SAVRY and the YLS/CMI (Olver et al, 2009), several studies that have directly compared the predictive validity of these two tools suggest that the SAVRY may outperform the YLS/CMI in its ability to predict general reoffending (Schmidt, Campbell, & Houlding, 2011;Welsh, Schmidt, McKinnon, Chattha, & Meyers, 2008). In particular, research by Schmidt, Campbell, and Houlding (2011) has shown that the SAVRY has significant predictive validity for general recidivism with an AUC score of .74 compared to an YLS/CMI score of .66.…”

“…2010). Entre los estudios que han utilizado métodos para evaluar el riesgo de reincidencia de los menores infractores, sus factores de riesgo o su predisposición a la violencia (Schmidt, Campbell y Houlding 2011;Schwalbe 2007), no se ha encontrado ninguno que refleje el seguimiento o la evolución de los menores con el mismo instrumento a lo largo de distintos periodos de tiempo comparando sus puntuaciones en las diferentes evaluaciones. Estudiar las trayectorias delictivas de este colectivo serviría para confirmar o no esta creencia, pero también como posible predictor de futuros comportamientos delictivos.…”

ResumenLa evaluación del riesgo de reincidencia juvenil permite comprender los factores de riesgo específicos que impulsan al menor a la comisión de actos delictivos. La mayoría de estos menores tendrán una relación puntual con el sistema judicial y solo un pequeño porcentaje persistirá en este tipo de conductas. Sin embargo, parece que la sociedad percibe a estos menores como de alto riesgo y con altos niveles de reincidencia. Por ello, con la premisa de dilucidar esta cuestión, el objetivo de este trabajo sería el de explorar el riesgo de reincidencia general, así como las áreas con mayor riesgo, realizando un seguimiento prospectivo de la evolución del nivel de riesgo de los menores infractores reincidentes. Los participantes de esta investigación fueron los menores con expediente judicial en el Juzgado de Menores de Castellón (N= 210), a los que se aplicó el Inventario de evaluación del riesgo de reincidencia (IGI-J), a lo largo de los distintos periodos de tiempo del seguimiento de 2 años. Los resultados mostraron un perfil mayoritario de menores con un nivel de riesgo bajo y un contacto puntual con el sistema judicial, rebatiendo por tanto la creencia de la peligrosidad general de los menores infractores. Por el contrario, los menores reincidentes con largas trayectorias delictivas, sí se caracterizan por un alto riesgo que iría aumentando a lo largo del periodo de seguimiento. Palabras ClaveDelincuencia; Juzgado de menores; Reiteración delictiva. AbstractRisk assessment in juvenile recidivism allows understanding the specific factors that drives the juvenile to the commission of offences. Most of these juveniles will have a punctual relation with the justice system and only a small percentage will persist in this type of conducts. However, it seems that society perceives these juveniles as high risk offenders with high rates of recidivism. Hence, with the aim to clarify this topic, the objective of this paper is to explore the general risk of recidivism and the areas with higher risk, examining the risk of recidivism in a follow up period. Participants in this research were juveniles with a criminal record in the Juvenile Court of Castellón (N = 210). The Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) was administered to the juveniles along the follow up period of two years. Results show a majoritary profile of low risk juveniles, and a punctual relation with justice, rejecting the belief of dangerousness on juvenile offenders. On the contrary, juvenile recidivists with long criminal trajectories are in fact characterized by a high risk that would increase throughout the follow up period.
