collect data

Intervention Type OTHER

The Juvenile Affairs Division provided the records without person-identifiable data (i.e., name, ID) to the researchers. The researchers coded the above data (i.e., the offenders' sociodemographic data, medical history, and criminal history).

Demographic characteristics were collected, which are the offenders' age, gender, occupation, education level, and residence (district). We recorded the offenders' household members (without the name or age), main caregivers (e.g., father, or mother), and the parents' socioeconomic and marital status. We also tracked whether the offenders live with family members with mental illness, whether they are from at-risk families, and whether had been victims of domestic violence. The medical history and deviant (or criminal) behaviors will be collected in the attached measure.

ASD

Autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), characterized by overriding obsessions and difficulties in social cognition, might render the affected individuals vulnerable for becoming an offender or a victim of crime.

Other disorders in youth: CD or substance use disorder

Conduct disorder (CD), characterized by antisocial and aggressive behavior, affects 2-2.5% of children and adolescents. CD is a risk factor for antisocial personality disorder, and despite the fact that a CD diagnosis completely relies on behavioral symptoms, research has identified neurocognitive impairments.
