“…Individuals who score as moderate-high or high risk to re-offend are then assessed using the Full Assessment, which contains the following 12 domains: criminal history, gender, school, use of free time, employment, relationships, family and living arrangements, alcohol and drugs, mental health, attitudes/behaviors, aggression, and skills (Baird et al 2013). This assessment has been widely validated as a tool for predicting risk and recidivism (Baglivio 2009(Baglivio , 2014Baglivio and Jackowski 2013). The final sample in this study is comprised of each unique juvenile who had been administered the PACT Full Assessment (n = 64,329 youth) with a mean age of 17 years old (at the time of the last assessment).…”

Adverse childhood experiences, comprised of forms of maltreatment and certain dysfunctional household environments, can affect the development of a child in a variety of different ways. This multitude of developmental changes may subsequently produce compounding harmful effects on the child's life and increase acutely maladaptive outcomes, including adolescent suicidal behavior. This study uses data collected from 2007 to 2012 for 64,329 Florida Department of Juvenile Justice youth (21.67 % female, 42.88 % African American, and 15.37 % Hispanic) to examine the direct and indirect effects of adverse childhood experiences on suicide attempts. Using a generalized structural equation model, the effects of adverse childhood experience scores are estimated on suicidal behavior through pathways of certain aspects of a child's personality development (aggression and impulsivity), as well as adolescent problem behaviors (school difficulties and substance abuse). The results show that a large proportion of the relationship between childhood adversity and suicide is mediated by the aforementioned individual characteristics, specifically through the youth's maladaptive personality development. These results suggest that, if identified early enough, the developmental issues for these youth could potentially be addressed in order to thwart potential suicidal behavior.

“…They have an early onset of antisocial conduct and juvenile justice activity often prior to age 10, engage in more varied and severe forms of delinquency and violence, are more prolific, have longer careers and delayed desistance, and have frequent, overlapping, and often unsuccessful involvement in the criminal justice system. Given this extremity, there is a particular focus on the most violent and severe criminals evidenced by increasingly enriched samples of offenders including prison homicide offenders (Cunningham, Sorensen, Vigen, & Woods, 2010), multiple homicide offenders (DeLisi & Scherer, 2006;Wright, Pratt, & DeLisi, 2008), homicide offenders (Jennings & Piquero, 2008), sex offenders (Harris et al, 2009;, and high-risk or serious/violent/chronic juvenile delinquents (Baglivio, 2009;Krebs, Lattimore, Cowell, & Graham, 2010;Mulvey et al, 2010). Indeed, criminologists increasingly suggest that the criminal career paradigm is an appropriate framework for studying the most severe forms of crime (Soothill, Fitzpatrick, & Francis, 2009), an avenue of research that historically was examined by forensic psychiatrists.…”

“…In addition, a Total risk score was calculated by adding the total risk scores of the separate domains and a Total protective score was calculated by adding the total protective scores of the separate domains. The predictive validity of the WSJCA pre-screen and the slightly adapted tools (Positive Achievement Change Tool [PACT] pre-screen and Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument [YASI] pre-screen) were examined in four different studies (Baglivio, 2009;Barnoski, 2004a;Orbis Partners Inc., 2007;Van der Put et al, 2013). The Barnoski (2004a) study examined the extent to which the WSJCA pre-screen was able to predict 18-month recidivism (defined as convictions).…”

This study aimed to examine the presence and impact of dynamic protective factors for delinquency in male adolescents with a history of sexual and/or violent offending. Bipolar factors (factors with risk and protective factors being the ends of the same continuum) were examined in male adolescents with a history of sexual offenses against younger children (CSOs; n = 341), a history of sexual offenses against peers and/or adult victims (PSOs; n = 207), and a history of nonsexual violent offenses (VOs; n = 1,356). We conducted secondary analyses on data collected with the Washington State Juvenile Court Assessment and on general recidivism data. ANOVA, correlations, Fisher's z tests, and logistic regression analyses were applied. Results showed that, in VOs, the number of risk factors was greater than the number of protective factors, whereas in PSOs, and especially CSOs, the number of protective factors was greater than the number of risk factors. Protective factors appeared to be especially important for juveniles with a history of sexual offenses for two reasons. First, the impact of most protective factors on recidivism was larger among juveniles with a history of sexual offenses than among those with a history of violent offenses. Second, protective factors added to the predictive accuracy over and above risk factors in juveniles with a history of sexual offenses, but not in those with a history of violent offenses.
