    Description

    This project explores the relationship between juvenile offenders and their risk of re-offending due to exposure to community violence. By analyzing the Pathways to Desistance (PTD) dataset, the largest longitudinal study of serious adolescent offenders, the project investigates how different variables contribute to re-offending. Specifically, it examines the effects of exposure to community violence, both as a witness and as a victim, on the frequency of offending. The findings aim to demonstrate that increased exposure to violence correlates with a higher likelihood of re-offending, providing valuable insights into the factors that influence juvenile delinquency and the potential for intervention.
