Abstract

In-home detention tethers are an intermediate, correctional sanction that have become popular alternatives to detention or incarceration. However, there is limited research on whether in-home detention tethers reduce recidivism among juvenile legal system involved girls. The current quasi-experimental study examines recidivism outcomes among adjudicated girls who received the intervention compared to a matched comparison group of girls. Recidivism rates were analyzed following completion of the intervention. In-home detention tethers were not found to be an effective method to reduce recidivism among girls.

（在）家庭拘留系绳对减少系统参与女孩累犯的有效性

摘要

居家拘留系绳是一种中间的惩教制裁，已成为拘留或监禁的流行替代方法。然而，关于家庭拘留系绳是否会减少涉及少年法律制度的女孩的累犯的研究有限。目前的准实验研究检查了接受干预的裁定女孩与匹配的女孩对照组相比的累犯结果。干预完成后分析累犯率。没有发现家庭拘留系绳是减少女孩累犯的有效方法。
