Description

This study analyzes the impact of peer influence on juvenile recidivism. It is essential to understand the specific patterns of reoffending to improve efforts on reforming the juvenile justice system. Previous research has focused on certain indicators that predict juvenile reoffending. This study focuses on peer influences as the most significant predictor of recidivism for juveniles. For the purposes of this study, peer influence is analyzed by looking at the resistance to peer influence, antisocial influences and behaviors present in juvenile offenders, race/ethnicity, and gender.
