    Description

    This study aims to look at the personal experiences, environmental influences, and institutional experiences that contribute to the recidivism of juvenile offenses. Past research has shown that mental health, social health, and institutional occurrences can be impressive predictors of future and more severe recidivism. Many programs have been enacted within juvenile detention centers in order to influence the rate of recidivism within the criminal justice system. This study will engage relationships between factors within the lines of personal health, environmental structure, and institutional experiences so that we can find concrete predictors of recidivism within juvenile experiences. Our study will be based on the research question: what personal experiences, environmental influences, and institutional experiences contribute to the recidivism of juvenile offenses? We utilized the Pathways to Desistance dataset, administered by the MacArthur Foundation, to address these inquiries.
