Dembo, Richard; And Others

Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse, v5 n1 p27-53 1996

Over 5,200 youths processed through a Juvenile Assessment Center during a 20-month period were involved in this study of recidivism predictors. Significant relationships were found between the youths' demographics, dependency referral factors, delinquency referral history variables, and recidivism. Direct implications for service delivery and policy are discussed. (LSR)
