Abstract
The primary purpose of this study was to investigate juvenile recidivism prediction as a function of the static and dynamic risk factors identified in the literature on juvenile recidivism by integrating the Psychopathy Checklist-Youth Version (PCL:YV), the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument (MAYSI), and the Youth Level of Service/Case Management Inventory (YLS/CMI) into a prediction model. The results suggested a predictive relationship between a 9-factor model consisting of MAYSI subscale scores and recidivism. The accuracy of the model improved with the addition of the Prior and Current Offenses/Dispositions subscale of the YLS/CMI. These findings suggest that emotional distress, offense history, and current criminal involvement may be important factors to consider when addressing recidivism potential.
