Dually involved youth are youth who are concurrently involved in both the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. Dually involved youth require a broader array of services compared to single-system youth though less is known about what types of services youth ultimately access while under the supervision of both systems. The current study examines the juvenile justice and child welfare histories, psychosocial characteristics, and predictors of rearrest among the dually involved population in Los Angeles County (N = 718) as well as the services youth are referred to and utilize among a subsample of dually involved youth tracked postdisposition (n = 152). Findings reveal an increased representation of females and an overrepresentation of African Americans among the sample. In fact, African American youth in Los Angeles County are disproportionately dually involved at a rate almost 6 times their general population numbers (7.4% vs. 43%). Youth histories show significant involvement in both systems with 33% of the sample having been arrested prior to the current referral, and youth having an average of 10.8 referrals to child welfare in their past. Youth exhibited high levels of behavioral health issues, which were associated with rearrest. Youth were referred to a broad range of services, though not all of them were accessed. Placement changes and contact with probation officers were identified as both challenges to and facilitators of service access in unique ways.

双重参与青年的系统背景,社会心理特征和服务访问

双重参与的青年是同时参与儿童福利和少年司法系统的青年。与单系统青年相比,双重参与的青年需要更广泛的服务,尽管对于在两种系统的监督下青年最终获得何种服务的了解较少。本研究调查了洛杉矶县双重参与人口(N = 718)中青少年司法和儿童福利的历史,社会心理特征和再度发生的预测因素,以及年轻人在双重参与子样本中的引用和利用青年追踪了性倾向(n = 152)。调查结果显示,在样本中女性所占比例增加,而非洲裔美国人所占比例过高。事实上,洛杉矶县的非裔美国人青年双倍参与其中的比例几乎是其总人口数的6倍(7.4%对43%)。青少年的历史记录表明这两种系统都参与其中,其中有33%的样本在当前转诊之前已被逮捕,而青少年在过去曾平均转介过10.8次儿童福利。青年人表现出高水平的行为健康问题,这与后坐相关。青年人获得了广泛的服务,尽管并非所有人都能获得。安置方式的变化和与缓刑官员的联系被确定为以独特方式挑战服务提供者并为其提供便利。青少年的历史记录表明这两种系统都参与其中,其中有33%的样本在当前转诊之前已被逮捕,而青少年在过去曾平均转介过10.8次儿童福利。青年人表现出高水平的行为健康问题,这与后坐相关。青年人获得了广泛的服务,尽管并非所有人都能获得。安置方式的变化和与缓刑官员的联系被确定为以独特方式挑战服务提供者并为其提供便利。青少年的历史记录表明这两种系统都参与其中,其中有33%的样本在当前转诊之前已被逮捕,而青少年过去平均每年转诊10.8项儿童福利。青年人表现出高水平的行为健康问题,这与后坐相关。青年人获得了广泛的服务,尽管并非所有人都能获得。安置方式的变化和与缓刑官员的联系被确定为以独特方式挑战服务提供者并为其提供便利。尽管并非所有人都可以访问。安置方式的变化和与缓刑官员的联系被确定为以独特方式挑战服务提供者并为其提供便利。尽管并非所有人都可以访问。安置方式的变化和与缓刑官员的联系被确定为以独特方式挑战服务提供者并为其提供便利。
