Young Women Leaders Program (YWLP) Longitudinal Follow-up Study, Central Virginia, 2013-2015- Description:Although delinquency among adolescent girls is rising, little research exists on the long-term effects of prevention programs meant for them. This project is a long-term evaluation of a gender-specific program, the Young Women Leaders Program (YWLP), a one-on-one and group-based mentoring program, in preventing delinquency and related outcomes in girls at-risk for delinquency. The primary research questions included:
1) Is YWLP effective long-term in preventing or reducing delinquency and associated risk outcomes in at-risk adolescent girls?
2) What do mentees and mentors identify as key mentoring and relationship processes related to effective mentoring?
3) Do key mentoring and relationship processes moderate the effects of the mentoring intervention in preventing or reducing girls' delinquency and associated risk outcomes during high school?
Researchers collected five-year follow-up surveys from girls who participated in an evaluation of YWLP from 2007-2010. The sample includes two cohorts of girls (2008-09 and 2009-10) who were randomly assigned to participate in YWLP or in a control group during their seventh grade year, as well as a third cohort (2007-2008) of non-randomized program and control girls used to pilot test recruitment strategies and measures, and to boost the sample size for analyses. In the original study, girls were nominated at the end of sixth grade because of individual or demographic characteristics related to delinquency risk and were assigned to YWLP or a control group condition; they completed one pre- and two post-assessments during seventh grade. The research team followed up with the girls five years later and administered surveys focused on key academic, social, emotional, and behavioral indicators.
A secondary goal is to assess the role of mentoring processes and relationship quality in explaining girls' long-term outcomes. The research team interviewed a subset of girls and their mentors who were identified as having the highest and lowest quality mentoring relationships during the program (based on their scores on a relational quality scale from the original study). The interview data explores what girls and mentors remember about their mentoring relationships five years later, how they think the program affected them, if at all, and what aspects of the relationships they recalled as helping or hindering the relationship.
Data in this release contain two parts: DS1--survey data and DS2--interview transcripts.

Youth Justice Policy Environments and Their Effects on Youth Confinement Rates, United States, 1996-2016- Description:This study was conducted to address the dropping rates in residential placements of adjudicated youth after the 1990s. Policymakers, advocates, and reseraches began to attirbute the decline to reform measures and proposed that this was the cause of the drop seen in historic national crime. In response, researchers set out to use state-level data on economic factors, crime rates, political ideology scores, and youth justice policies and practices to test the association between the youth justice policy environment and recent reductions in out-of-home placements for adjudicated youth.
This data collection contains two files, a multivariate and bivariate analyses. In the multivariate file the aim was to assess the impact of the progressive policy characteristics on the dependent variable which is known as youth confinement. In the bivariate analyses file Wave 1-Wave 10 the aim was to assess the states as they are divided into 2 groups across all 16 dichotomized variables that comprised the progressive policy scale: those with more progressive youth justice environments and those with less progressive or punitive environments. Some examples of these dichotomized variables include purpose clause, courtroom shackling, and competency standard.

Youth Under 18 Years Old in Adult Prisons in the United States, 1997 - Description:This survey of departments of corrections in the United
States was undertaken to provide correctional staff with design,
implementation, and management strategies to meet the needs of
prisoners under the age of 18. The study examined what happens when
individuals under age 18 are placed in adult correctional facilities,
and explored the ways in which departments of corrections are
attempting to deal with the growing population of youthful
inmates. The following three objectives were the focus of this study:
(1) to describe the number of incarcerated youths (at time of
admission) being held in the nation's prison system, (2) to examine
the different methods being used to house inmates under 18 years old,
and (3) to explore different management approaches used with youthful
inmates in terms of the size of the prison system and the area of the
country in which they were located. For this study, respondents in 51
departments of corrections (50 states and the District of Columbia)
were contacted by telephone regarding survey questions that were
mailed prior to the phone interviews. The survey contained five
questions concerning current practices for handling offenders under
the age of 18 who had been placed in adult correctional
institutions. Data were collected on the method used to house
underaged inmates and the size of each system's population of inmates
under 18 years old. Subsequently, the method and size data were
combined to form categories describing four management approaches for
dealing with offenders under the age of 18 in adult prisons: (1)
separated/big, (2) separated/little, (3) integrated/big, and (4)
integrated/little. Demographic variables include the population size
and region (Northeast, South, Midwest, or West) of each jurisdiction,
as well as the number and proportion of offenders under 18 years old
within each state. Also present in the file is the location and name
of the facility with the largest under-18 population in each
jurisdiction.

Youth Violence and Victimization: Predicting Responses to Peer Aggression, South Carolina, 2017-2018- Description:Youth violence is violence or aggression perpetuated by or targeted against youth and includes many forms such as violent crime, physical violence (e.g., fighting, use of firearms), and the numerous manifestations of bullying (e.g., overt, social/relational, and cyber bullying). New research is needed to enhance our understanding of the factors and processes associated with youth violence. This research focuses on key factors within individuals and multiple contexts that may robustly predict the perpetration and amelioration of violence among youth but that have received scant attention in previous research, especially in concert with each other. Specifically, the factors within individuals the investigators examined include cognition (e.g., attitudes towards retaliation and bystander intervention) and social-emotional adjustment (e.g., rejection sensitivity, affect, aggressive behavior and victimization) while the multiple contexts will include peer (e.g., characteristics and status of peer group, sociometric and perceived popularity), school (e.g., school connectedness, student-teacher relationship), and family contexts (e.g., attachment, family hostility). This dataset seeks to aid scholars hoping to understand adolescents' attitudes and judgments surrounding peer aggression, with attention both to attitudes surrounding bystander intervention to stop aggression and retaliation when exposed to such aggression. This project is a year-long longitudinal study with 6th graders and 9th graders in order to identify factors related to responses to peer aggression and to examine these relations over time.
