Abstract

The risk and protective factors in a sample of 224 Singaporean youths who have engaged in violence are investigated using the SAVRY the VRS-YV, and the SAPROF-YV. Youths in the early and middle stages of adolescence exhibited more risk factors and fewer protective factors than late stage adolescents. This may be due to cultural and societal influences as well as maturation processes which guide the development of risk and protective factors over the course of adolescence. These findings highlight the importance of developing treatment programs for violent youth that are developmentally matched and which address specific areas of need.

新加坡不同青少年发展阶段暴力青少年犯罪者的风险和保护特征探索

摘要

使用 SAVRY、VRS-YV 和 SAPROF-YV 调查了 224 名参与暴力的新加坡青年样本中的风险和保护因素。青春期早期和中期的青少年比晚期青少年表现出更多的危险因素和更少的保护因素。这可能是由于文化和社会影响以及指导青春期风险和保护因素发展的成熟过程。这些发现强调了为暴力青少年制定治疗计划的重要性，这些计划是发展匹配的，并解决特定领域的需求。
