“…Consistent with the results of the current study about the main causes behind female juvenile delinquency Foley (2008) confirmed that, surveys and focus groups with justice-involved girls and their staff and administrators, family problems were the top risk factor for girls' delinquency, followed by individual problems, peer issues, and school and community factors, respectively. Furthermore, Church II et al (2012) indicated that, the critical role the family plays in juvenile delinquency has been said to be the single most replicated finding in the juvenile deviance literature.…”

Historically delinquency was considered the domain of boys, but recently female juvenile delinquents are a sizeable minority of the overall delinquent population, henceforth, current study aimed to explore the lived experiences of female juvenile delinquents in Egypt. A qualitative research approach was achieved by conducting focus group discussions with delinquent females and in-depth interviews with key workers from three residential correctional institutions in Egypt. Findings indicated that female juvenile delinquency is a multidimensional phenomenon resulting from stacking sets of strained relationships, community, & individual triggering factors. Ultimately the crux of female juvenile delinquency is the family.

“…A growing body of evidence has suggested that prevention programs can have differential impact by gender (Blake, Amaro, Schwartz, & Flinchbaugh, 2001; Fagan & Lindsey, 2014; Foley, 2008). Prior analyses have found that CTC produced greater reductions in use of alcohol and smokeless tobacco among boys than girls by Grade 8 (Oesterle, Hawkins, Fagan, Abbott, & Catalano, 2010) and a marginally greater reduction in delinquency for boys than for girls in Grade 10 (Oesterle et al, 2014).…”

Objective The Communities That Care (CTC) prevention system seeks to build community capacity for a science-based approach to the promotion of healthy youth development. Prior research shows the positive effects of CTC on youth protective factors during CTC implementation. This research tests sustained effects of CTC on youth protective factors 1 year after external support to communities for CTC implementation ended. Method Data come from a community-randomized trial of CTC in 24 communities across 7 states. A panel of 4,407 youth in CTC and control communities was surveyed annually from Grade 5 through Grade 10. Youth reported their exposure to protective factors identified in the social development model. Global test statistics are calculated to examine effects of CTC across 15 protective factors in 5 domains (community, school, family, peer, and individual) assessed in Grade 10, 1 year after study support for CTC implementation ended. Analyses also examine variation in sustained effects by gender and baseline risk levels. Results Global effects of CTC on protective factors across all domains are not sustained in Grade 10. However, sustained domain-specific effects are observed in the individual domain for males, in the peer domain for females, and in the individual domain for youth with low-to-medium risk at baseline. Conclusions Greater emphasis on strengthening protective factors during high school might be needed to sustain broad effects of CTC on protective factors observed during middle school.

“…Foley (2008) further argued that current gender-specific programming has not proven efficacious for girls in the justice system. Lipsey, Wilson, and Cothern (2000) found mental healthadministered institutional programs to be more effective than juvenile justice-administered programming.…”
