Little attention has been devoted to studies of adolescent family violence offending, yet research on adult populations show
that victim relationship may make a difference in how offenders are treated in the criminal justice system. Given that the
intergenerational transmission of violence may operate through adolescent family violence, a detailed examination of these
youth is warranted. Through an analysis of detained youth in a small northeastern state, this study examines differences in
court treatment between family and non-family offenders. Family violence offenders are significantly more likely to be minor
offenders and to be female than are non-family offenders. Results of logistic regression show that, all else being equal,
family violence youth are treated more leniently by the court than non-family offenders. Finally, while most youth are released
to community dispositions, there are no differences in court-ordered family counseling between family and non-family offenders.
These findings point to areas of needed research on adolescent family violence offenders and larger policy questions about
how such youth should be treated relative to other youth.

Infants are the fastest growing population in foster care. Without intervention they are at great risk of poor developmental outcomes. Juvenile and family courts have a unique opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of the babies in their care. This article outlines six critical issues that impact the development of very young children in the child welfare system and recommends strategies that juvenile and family courts can use to address the needs of this most vulnerable population. 相似文献

We use data from the National Crime Survey (NCS) and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) to explore changes in the likelihood of police notification in rape incidents. The findings indicate that during the 1970s and 1980s there was a significant increase in police notification by third parties and by victims raped by non‐strangers. During the 1990s the increase in rates of police notification in rape incidents accelerated and broadened in scope. In addition, differences in police notification between stranger and non‐stranger incidents diminished during the 1970s and 1980s and, by the early 1990s there was no significant difference. 相似文献
