While the impact of trauma on delinquency and offending has been studied in great depth, less is known about the cumulative effects of adverse childhood experiences and how these experiences impact recidivism or reoffending outcomes of youth who already have justice system involvement. The main aim of this paper is to report on the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis on the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences and juvenile recidivism. Of particular interest, the paper examines to what extent, if any, ACEs can be used to predict youth reoffending outcomes, as well as investigates the nature of this relationship. The study utilizes quantitative metanalytical techniques to estimate the overall impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on youth reoffending. Sixteen studies were selected after a comprehensive search of electronic databases covering the fields of social science, criminology, psychology, or related fields. Key findings demonstrate that Adverse Childhood Experiences increase the risk of youth recidivism, with effects varying amongst sample sizes. Narrative synthesis also shows key gender, racial, and ethnic differences as well as potential mechanisms in the cumulative trauma-reoffending relationship. These findings can further guide research and policy in the areas of trauma, juvenile justice, and crime prevention.

虽然已经深入研究了创伤对犯罪和犯罪的影响，但人们对不良童年经历的累积影响以及这些经历如何影响已经参与司法系统的青少年的累犯或再犯罪结果知之甚少。本文的主要目的是报告关于不良童年经历与青少年累犯之间关系的系统回顾和荟萃分析的结果。特别有趣的是，该论文研究了 ACE 在多大程度上（如果有的话）可用于预测青少年再犯罪结果，并调查了这种关系的性质。该研究利用定量元分析技术来估计不良童年经历对青少年再犯罪的总体影响。在全面搜索涵盖社会科学、犯罪学、心理学或相关领域的电子数据库后，选择了 16 项研究。主要研究结果表明，不良童年经历会增加青少年累犯的风险，其影响因样本量而异。叙事综合还显示了关键的性别、种族和民族差异，以及累积的创伤-再犯罪关系中的潜在机制。这些发现可以进一步指导创伤、少年司法和犯罪预防领域的研究和政策。叙事综合还显示了关键的性别、种族和民族差异，以及累积的创伤-再犯罪关系中的潜在机制。这些发现可以进一步指导创伤、少年司法和犯罪预防领域的研究和政策。叙事综合还显示了关键的性别、种族和民族差异，以及累积的创伤-再犯罪关系中的潜在机制。这些发现可以进一步指导创伤、少年司法和犯罪预防领域的研究和政策。
