Running head: PREDICTORS OF DISCIPLINARY PROBLEMS IN CORRECTIONS
نویسنده
چکیده
This study examines predictors of disciplinary problems for female inmates at a juvenile correctional facility. The study was an archival analysis of the records of inmates who were housed in an all-girls maximum security juvenile correctional facility and released during the months between June and December of 2010. Records from 112 girls ranging from the age of twelve to nineteen were used. Disciplinary outcomes such as judicial conduct reports and segregation were examined. Some of the predictors analyzed included frequency of exposure to treatment programs within the facility, history of drug use, medications and psychological diagnoses, and family configuration. Three significant predictors of disciplinary problems include age, number of medications, and disturbances of conduct (e.g., conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, etc.), with an adjusted R of .315.
