Abstract
Reexamined variables—parental status, age at first court contact, amount of pretreatment delinquency, age at admission, diagnosis and intelligence estimates—that have been associated with recidivism of delinquent adolescents (N = 89). Groups of recidivating and nonrecidivating delinquents and a third comparison group of prematurely program-terminated delinquents were compared across all variables. The results provided additional support for the association of age and cognitive variables with premature treatment termination and recidivism and generally supported previous research findings.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
