“… 1. To the extent that empathy shares some common ground with self-control, it is important to note that a series of studies and meta-analyses have found that self-control is modifiable and responsive to interventions (see e.g. Augimeri et al, 2018; Piquero et al, 2010, 2016). …”

Low empathy has been implicated in antisocial, aggressive, and criminal behavior, especially among adolescents. Less understood is the extent to which empathy is amenable to treatment, and whether an improvement in empathy can mitigate the deleterious effects of known risk factors, such as childhood maltreatment. A sample of 11,000 serious juvenile offenders in long-term residential placement is leveraged to examine whether over cumulative traumatic exposure, measured by the adverse childhood experience (ACE) score, is associated with the initial level of empathy at admission to a residential program, and whether changes in empathy during treatment moderate the impact of ACEs on juvenile recidivism. Results show youth with higher ACE scores have less empathy at admission and both ACEs and empathy predict recidivism. Most importantly, large gains in empathy are able to dampen the effect of ACEs on recidivism.

“…What children experience in the first few years of life helps to set the stage for many life course domains including education, employment, physical and mental health, interpersonal relationships, and prosocial (or antisocial) behavior. To the extent that children experience positive parenting within a prosocial environment, they will be more amenable to being effectively socialized, with self-control being one of the most important individual characteristics developed in the first decade of life (see, e.g., Augimeri, Walsh, Donato, Blackman, & Piquero, 2018; Gottfredson & Hirschi, 1990; Moffitt, 1993; Piquero, Jennings, & Farrington, 2010; Tremblay & Craig, 1995).…”

A growing body of research has demonstrated the deleterious effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Less understood is the role of ACEs in gang involvement among juvenile offenders. The current longitudinal study employs a sample of 104,267 juvenile offenders (mean age of 16, 76% male, 46% Black non-Hispanic, 15.7% Hispanic) to examine the effect of ACE exposure on two different measures of gang involvement by age 18. We use structural equation modeling to test whether higher ACE exposure at Time 1 predicts gang involvement and whether current substance use and/or difficult temperament mediates the ACE-gang involvement relationship. Results indicate ACE exposure at Time 1 predicts gang involvement by age 18, but that much of the effect of ACEs on later gang involvement can be explained by their impact on current substance abuse and difficult temperament. Implications for juvenile justice systems are discussed.

“…As one example, having low hyperactivity early in life was found to be protective for future life success among those CSDD males who are considered at risk based on all three conceptualizations of risk. When considered in conjunction with results from other studies (for a review, see Jolliffe, Farrington, Piquero, Loeber, & Hill, 2017), these results demonstrate the importance of early individual and family/parent-training style programs (e.g., Piquero, Farrington, Welsh, Tremblay, & Jennings, 2009;Piquero et al, 2016) such as Functional Family Therapy (Celinska, Furrer, & Cheng, 2013;Sexton & Turner, 2010), Adults in the Making (Brody, Chen, Kogan, Smith, & Brown, 2010;Brody, Yu, Chen, Kogan, & Smith, 2012), and Stop Now and Plan (SNAP; Augimeri, Walsh, Donato, Blackman, & Piquero, 2018) that aim to increase a youth's problemsolving skills and have been found to be effective in reducing risk-taking behavior and offending among at-risk youth (though some research tends to suggest that these programs may not have very long-term effects; see van Aar, Leijten, Orobio de Castro, & Overbeek, 2017). Replications with more recently collected data are needed to determine whether these same patterns (and policy recommendations) emerge in future work.…”

Not All At-Risk Boys Have Bad Outcomes: Predictors of Later Life Success

Scholars have recently identified protective factors that decrease the effects of risk factors on later offending. Others have investigated how offending risk factors affect other life outcomes, such as employment and health. The current study combined these areas to identify protective factors that predicted life success through mid-adulthood. The Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development was used to identify risk-based and interactive protective factors for later life success among males at risk for poor life success. Across three risk conceptualizations, several protective factors were identified that predicted life success in a variety of domains at age 48. This research indicates that early childhood interventions may not only help reduce future offending but also increase the child’s chances of doing well in other life domains.
