“…With this expansion, the registry became a dual-purpose tool. The public could make themselves aware of the location of RSOs in their neighborhoods and increase guardianship to vulnerable populations (Sample & Kadleck, 2008;Zevitz, 2003).…”

This study extends the current sex offender and housing literature by examining whether the presence of registered sex offenders (RSOs) and sexual predators (SPs) influenced home sale values in a mixed rural/agricultural and urban community. Using ArcGIS, the residences of RSOs in McLean County, Illinois, and home sale transactions, along with property and neighborhood characteristics were geocoded. The associations of home sale values to the distance to the nearest RSO and SP, as well as, the concentrations of RSOs and SPs were examined. Results revealed that each foot increase between the sold home to the residence of the nearest RSO and SP was associated with an increase in home sale prices of $17.03 and $15.25, and the concentrations of two or more RSOs and SPs was associated with a reduction in home sale prices of $12,750 and $17,797. These findings inform the debate surrounding the requirements placed on sexual offender registration, community notification, and residency restrictions.

“…A more effective way to determine offenders' risk of recidivism is via actuarial assessments, like the Static-99 (Hanson & Thornton, 1999 ) or the Sex Offender Risk Appraisal Guide ( SORAG ; Quinsey, Harris, Rice, & Cormier, 2006 ). Actuarial methods determine risk level by examining individual risk factors like age, number of prior sex offenses, and relationship to the victim.…”

“…How youth respond to being in the criminal justice system is complex and can be influenced by a range of factors including demographic characteristics and degree of social support. Among those factors is the type of offence the youth has committed, specifically whether they have committed a sexual or nonsexual offence (Doob & Gartner, 2013;Letourneau & Caldwell, 2013;Meloy, Boatwright, & Curtis, 2013;Mercado, Alvarez, & Levenson, 2008;Sample & Kadleck, 2008;Wright, 2015;Zimring, 2004).…”

Understanding the Experiences of Justice-Involved Youth at the Intersection of the Criminal Justice and Mental Health Systems

In this dissertation, I examined the psychosocial effects of progressing through the youth criminal justice system. The studies presented here are tied together by the shared goal of promoting a welfare-based youth criminal justice system that adopts an extended responsibility of care toward justice-involved youth beyond reducing recidivism. Study 1 examined how clinician-derived diagnoses and recommendations are determined in a forensic context when youth provide information about their mental health that is consistent, or inconsistent, with information provided by their caregivers. Clinicians weighed information from youth more heavily when making internalizingspectrum diagnoses such as mood or anxiety disorders, whereas information from caregivers was more heavily weighed when making externalizing-spectrum diagnoses such as conduct disorder, and clinical recommendations. Study 2 examined changes in the mental health, self-esteem, and perceived social support, of justice-involved youth as they transitioned through the adjudication period of the youth criminal justice system process. Mental health and self-esteem were significantly different across time, with greater negative changes associated with longer adjudication times. Youth who committed sexual offences reported significantly greater negative changes in mental health and self-esteem compared to youth who committed non-sexual offences. Using a mixed-methods approach, Study 3 examined if, and how, justice-involved youth experienced stigma associated with criminal justice system involvement (offending-based stigma). Justice-involved youth experienced moderate internalized offending-based stigma, with greater internalized stigma associated with greater mental iii health symptoms, and lower self-esteem. The qualitative findings indicated justiceinvolved youth construct themselves as devalued members of society because of their offending status. Using an intersectional lens, how youth took up their offending status depended on how they also took up their race, masculinity, and class. This dissertation applied a broad inter-disciplinary lens, drawing on several fields of study, including correctional policy, criminogenic risk, developmental criminology, developmental psychopathology, forensic assessment, forensic mental health, human rights, intersectionality, legal discourse, and stigma. The conclusions presented in this dissertation build on the empirical foundation provided by these works to further demonstrate the youth criminal justice system in Canada must move away from a strict focus on reducing recidivism among justice-involved youth.
