The current study examined the criminal justice experiences of foster care youth living with relatives, foster families, and
living in congregate care; dependents receiving in-home care; and non-dependent youth. Specific attention was directed at
uncovering whether form of maltreatment, placement type, and/or placement instability were related to delinquency. A prospective
analysis of official record data followed children in Los Angeles County from the time of a first admission to the Department
of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to potential involvement in the criminal justice system (N = 1,235). The study also
utilized a matched control design in which DCFS cases were compared to non-dependent controls (N = 1,235). The most consistent
predictors of delinquency were placement instability and age at placement. Youth who were older at placement and youth with
at least one placement change were more likely to be arrested for violent and non-violent crimes as well as be charged by
the district attorney than younger youth with no placement changes. 相似文献

In this article I caution against the use of polygraph testing in convicted sex‐offenders programs. First, I explain that the prevalent method of polygraph testing, the CQT, suffers from several major flaws and has no scientific basis. These flaws, which characterize all usages of the CQT, including its use with sex offenders, create a considerable risk for false positive as well as false‐negative errors. Second, no methodologically sound research examining the validity of the CQT, neither in its forensic application, nor in its use with sex offenders has been conducted. Finally, I explain why the use of CQT polygraphy with sex offenders is even more problematic than its common use as an aid in criminal investigations. Clearly, rehabilitation programs of convicted sex offenders are highly important, but the use of polygraph testing in this context is misguided and instead of reducing recidivism in sex offenders is likely to achieve just the opposite. 相似文献

From the signing of the Oslo Peace Accords in September 2000 to the eruption of Al Aqsa intifada in September 2000, the international community allocated an estimated $20–25 million for people-to-people (P2P) projects. Since September 2000, almost all P2P projects came to a halt. Many people have asked why this had to happen? Why did the P2P projects cease to work when they were needed the most? Why did the P2P projects fail to produce the desired goals? How could P2P projects have greater impact? Why are some activities continuing, while others have ceased? This article will attempt to deal with these questions. It is based on a research project that involved Israeli and Palestinian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and Civil Society institutions; Israeli, Palestinian, and international academics; and other expert conflict resolution and conflict prevention practitioners. A joint team of Israeli and Palestinian researchers was appointed to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the P2P process; two workshops were held to conduct subjective analyses of the P2P process from its start until today. An interactive web site was also produced, and some 40 interviews were conducted with initiators and implementers of P2P projects. We present here the findings of this study. 相似文献

Learned helplessness (LH) may mediate the link between violence exposure and mental disorders in battered women. This study
evaluated the contribution of LH to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and major depression (MDD) in women with prolonged
exposure to partner violence in 101 residents of shelters for battered women in Israel. DSM-IV axis-I disorders were assessed
by a structured clinical interview. Self-report questionnaires evaluated exposure to violence, symptoms of PTSD and depression,
LH, history of child abuse, SES and the extent of male-dominance and prejudice against women in the participants prior socialization
background. LH significantly mediated the effect of violence on PTSD and depression symptoms. Male-dominated background contributed
to LH. Thus, LH may increase the risk of mental disorders in battered women and should be addressed in interventions designed
to reduce the burden of mental illness in this population. 相似文献

Abstract This article reports the first phase of a three-phase research programme investigating the prevalence and long-term sequelae associated with sexual abuse in a non-psychiatric sample of male and female Australian athletes. A cross-sectional, retrospective design, using a mailed survey, provided a quantitative assessment of sexual abuse prevalence in a national sample of elite athletes and a regional sample of club athletes. Results from the total sample (n = 370) revealed that 31% of female and 21% of male athletes reported experiencing sexual abuse at some time in their lives. Of these, 41% of females, and 29% of males had been sexually abused within the sports environment. It was also found that almost half, 46.4%, of the elite group reporting sexual abuse had been sexually abused by sports personnel. For the club group, this figure was 25.6%. Implications of these results and current initiatives for the prevention of sexual abuse of athletes in Australia are discussed. 相似文献
