Balkin, Richard S.; Miller, Janeen; Ricard, Richard J.; Garcia, Roberto; Lancaster, Chloe
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v44 n1 p52-59 Jan 2011
Court-referred youth participated in an intervention program and completed the Reynolds Adolescent Adjustment Screening Inventory. Reoffending rates were tracked for 2 years. Antisocial behavior, anger control, and emotional distress were influencing characteristics for recidivism. The Reynolds Adolescent Adjustment Screening Inventory may serve as a tool to identify the likelihood of reoffending for adolescents. (Contains 2 tables.)
