“…Paralleling research in child well-being, a number of studies have found strong evidence of association between parental absence and children's exposure to victimization. Researchers have consistently found that ''broken home,'' for example, is a potential risk factor for children's exposure to victimization (Hartinger-Saunders et al 2012;Turner et al 2013;Turner, Finkelhor, and Ormrod 2007). Compared with children living with both biological parents, children of single parents are more likely to be exposed to child maltreatment and sexual assault and to witness family violence (Turner et al 2007(Turner et al , 2013.…”

Objectives: Examine the relationship between parental rural-to-urban migration, caretaking arrangement, and left-behind children's self-reported victimization in rural China. The direct effect of parental migration on children's victimization as well as the indirect effect through positive caretaking and children's delinquent/problem behavior involvement is explored. Methods: The study uses data from the Parental Migration and Children's Well-being Survey, which collected information on parental migration and children's experience of victimization from a probability sample of 800 middle school students in southern China. Structural equation modeling is used to evaluate hypothesized models by simultaneously assessing direct and indirect effects. Results: Compared with children living with both parents in rural China, children left behind by their fathers have an elevated level of victimization. In addition, the chronic absence of fathers leads to a higher level of delinquent and problem behavior among left-behind children, which in turn leads to further victimization. Conclusion: Left-behind children living with

“…Also the prevalence of substance use and mental health problems, which are associated with delinquency, is higher amongst low-SES adolescents (47)(48)(49). Parental monitoring is a central protective factor against delinquency, and lower levels of parental monitoring in low-SES families may partly explain why these adolescents engage more in delinquent behavior (50,51). Adolescents with socioeconomic adversities are also less likely to be committed to school and academic performance and more likely to get involved in peer groups that engage in delinquent behavior (52,53).…”

Background: Scientific literature suggests that the prevalence of delinquency amongst adolescents has decreased internationally in past decades. However, whether this change is consistent across all socioeconomic groups has not yet been studied. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine changes in delinquency amongst Finnish adolescents according to socioeconomic status between 2000 and 2015. Method: A population-based school survey was conducted biennially amongst 14-16-year-old Finns between 2000 and 2015 (n = 761,278). Distributions for delinquency and socioeconomic adversities (low parental education, not living with both parents and parental unemployment in the past year) were calculated using crosstabs. Associations between delinquency, time, and socioeconomic adversities were studied using binomial logistic regression results shown by odds ratios with 95 % confidence intervals. Results: Delinquency was positively associated with all three socioeconomic adversities studied and cumulative socioeconomic adversity. Although the prevalence of delinquency varied only slightly between 2000 and 2015 in the overall population, it increased significantly amongst adolescents with most socioeconomic adversities. Conclusions: The findings indicate that socioeconomic differences in delinquency have increased amongst Finnish adolescents in past decades. Delinquency prevention and intervention programs should take socioeconomic adversities into account.

“…Uma monitorização parental pobre parece ser um dos preditores mais significativos no que diz respeito à predisposição para a violação de normas (Stattin & Kerr, 2000) e para a adoção de comportamentos delinquentes pelos jovens (Hoeve et al, 2009). Em contrapartida, quando os pais monitorizam as atividades dos seus filhos, há um efeito protetor (Griffin, Botvin, Scheier, Diaz, & Miller, 2000;Huizinga et al, 1998), principalmente em fases precoces da adolescência (Hartinger-Saunders, Rine, Wieczorek, & Nochajski, 2012).…”

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.
