“…Emotional neglect was also a significant predictor of externalizing behavior in this study. Prior research has shown a relationship between emotional neglect and certain externalizing factors such as poor academic achievement (Basto-Pereira et al, 2016), running away (Jeanis, Fox, & Muniz, 2018), and criminal involvement (Assink et al, 2015). Future research should examine if emotionally neglected children have trouble responding to others’ emotion (Pollak, 2008), have poor emotional regulation skills (Shipman, Edwards, Brown, Swisher, & Jennings, 2005), or experience peer rejection (Kim & Cicchetti, 2010) which may explain the increased risk of externalizing behaviors.…”

This study examines the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on the risk of internalizing or externalizing outcomes among juveniles. While myriad research has investigated the impacts of ACEs on internalizing and externalizing outcomes, it is unclear whether ACEs have a stronger link to one outcome over the other when controlling for other factors. Using a sample of 30,909 youth who exclusively exhibited internalizing ( n = 1,030) or externalizing problems ( n = 29,879), regression techniques and propensity score matching were utilized to evaluate the impact of each ACE on the risk of internalizing versus externalizing outcomes. Results indicate that the most pertinent factor for predicting externalized problems is emotional abuse. Household member incarceration, physical abuse, emotional neglect, and household violence or substance abuse also predicted externalizing outcomes. Sexual abuse was the only ACE predictive of internalizing, while physical neglect and parental mental illness did not have a correlation with either outcome.

“…The findings appear similar for offending as well, with Crawford, Whitbeck, & Hoyt (2009) finding that self-reported measures of violent offending among a sample of juveniles were more likely among homeless youth that participated in selling drugs or were in a gang, as was a history of caretaker abuse. While the majority of this work focuses on self-reported measures of offending and victimization, the few studies that do examine official arrest measures also illustrate that homeless have a high risk of offending (Jeanis, Fox, & Muniz, 2018;Listwan et al, 2018).…”

Using risk terrain modeling to predict homeless related crime in Los Angeles, California

We apply Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) to identify the factors that predict homeless related crime at micro grid cells in Los Angeles, CA. We find that place based factors predicting whether homeless individuals are victimized or the offender being homeless are largely consistent with one another. Out of 26 different crime attractors and generators, prior drug arrests, homeless shelters, and bus stops are the three biggest factors in predicting homeless related crime. We show how the RTM model can effectively forecast future homeless related crimes as well. This suggests that targeted spatial strategies can reduce both homeless offending and victimization risk. Given that the majority of homeless individuals are only intermittently homeless, place based strategies may be a more an effective way to limit risk than strategies that focus on individuals.

“…This research is an interesting first step for understanding runaway youths but lacks perspective regarding their various mental health, psychological and behavioral problems. Jeanis, Fox, and Muniz (2019) provide one of the few studies of runaway youth referred to the U.S. justice system ( n = 29,204). Their typologies are based on institutional data and data collected through a semi‐structured interview conducted by a U.S. justice system professional at the time of admittance.…”

“…Their typologies are based on institutional data and data collected through a semi‐structured interview conducted by a U.S. justice system professional at the time of admittance. For three spheres of life (i.e., individual and personality, environmental factors and externalizing behavior), five groups of young runaways emerge from a latent class analysis (Jeanis et al., 2019). Although one of the rare person‐centered approaches considering various common mental health problems, psychological and behavioral problems to understand runaway youth profiles, each young runaway belongs to three spheres of life typologies: individual and personality, environmental factors, and externalizing behavior.…”

During runaway episodes, adolescents engage in various high‐risk behaviors and are exposed to various dangers. This situation is even more pronounced among runaway youths from residential care centers, given their personal and familial backgrounds that place them at risk. The current study attempted to disentangle the heterogeneous characteristics of runaway youths while considering the adolescent risk‐taking literature. A latent profile analysis was performed among 112 runaway youths from residential care centers based on runaway characteristics (number, duration, context of return). The Parent involvement, Independent and Police involvement runaway youth profiles were compared on various characteristics involved in risk‐taking, their high‐risk behaviors and mental health problems. The clinical implications for these three runaway profiles are discussed.
