Ecologies of juvenile reoffending: A Systematic Review of Risk Factors

Below is recent research by Leah A. Jacob, Laura Ellen Ashcraft, Craig J.R. Sewall, Barbara L. Folb, Christina Marr titled, Ecologies of juvenile reoffending: A Systematic Review of Risk Factors. 

Abstract: Research on juvenile reoffending has experienced an ecological turn, marked by an impressive expansion of studies that test the relation between elements of residential context and reoffending. Yet, to date, little consensus exists regarding what ecological factors matter, how they affect reoffending, and for whom they matter most. To address this gap, this study takes stock of research that tests the relationship between ecological factors and reoffending among youth.
