Description

<p>In criminal psychology there is considerable evidence using meta-analysis in juvenile delinquency and recidivism. The aim of the current study was to examine an effect of child guidance centers in Japan on recidivism in juveniles under 14 years old who violated punitive laws and orders. I collected 344 delinquent case data (82 recidivisms) from archives of child guidance centers; the longest observational period was five years in this study which adopted survival time analysis. Kaplan–Meier estimator showed the three interaction effects between continuous interviews, especially in four or more times, for parents and given child and cases characteristics of (1) family with biological parents, (2) law-breaking with accomplice, and (3) violation of special law which is excepting criminal law. Furthermore results indicated that (a) maltreated experience of delinquents could increase the risk of recidivism remarkably and (b) child self-support facilities can have suppression effects on recidivism but may loss the effects after leaving the institutions. The author concludes that there are a few advantages and a lot of tasks to address for delinquents in child guidance centers.</p>
