Empirical study on the influencing factors of adolescent recidivism
Individual, family, and society are the three main factors influencing adolescent recidivism. By employing in-depth interviews to develop a questionnaire on "real-world social treatment" affecting adolescent recidivism, and combining it with the commonly used "low self-control" and "family functioning" scales in adolescent crime measurement, a survey was conducted among 49 incarcerated adolescents who had reoffended. After statistical analysis of the survey data, it was found that the factors of "low self-control" and "real-world social treatment" significantly influenced adolescent recidivism, while the factor of "family functioning" had no significant impact. There is a certain correlation between family socioeconomic status and the factor of "real-world social treatment." Changing the situation of "real-world social treatment" can influence the psychology of adolescent recidivism.
