Full textAbstract:
The incessant abuse of the female students by their male counterparts including teachers has reached an alarming rate. This has led to many of them dropping out of school either as a result of unwanted pregnancy or psychological trauma. This study examined the prevalence of sexual abuse of the girl child in public senior secondary school in Ovia North - East Local Government, Edo State. Survey design was used for the study. Three hundred and sixty students from 12 public schools in Ovia North - East Local Government Area of Edo State formed the sample. A structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from the students. Ranking and descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation and mean deviation were used to analyze the data. The result showed that intimate fondling ranked first among the types of abuse the girl child was subjected to. It also revealed that thegirl child was more abused than their male counterpart. It was recommended, among other things, that offenders should be punished in accordance with the law so as to reduce cases of sexual abuse. In addition, counseling units should be provided in each school that will address issues of sexual abuse.

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses the analysis of the results of research carried out amongst youth offenders from correctional facilities for minors and high school students complying with the legal standards. The aim of the research was to present the differences in the coping strategy of adaptation to the strain caused by a difficult situation amongst the researched adolescents, taking into account the division into groups and the sex factor. In total 266 young people were assessed (133 ppl from both groups). The research was quantitative. Data analysis using Chi-square test revealed a number of significant differences in the selection of a coping strategy to the strain induced a difficult situation. The obtained data gave grounds for a partial acceptance of the research hypothesis. The analysis of the data, included the division into group and sex factor, showed that in the group of girls from correctional facilities for minors, drug and alcohol use and seeking revenge are predominant. In the group of offender boys, alcohol and drugs are predominant, as well as seeking to recover the loss and taking responsibility for one's own actions. In the group of high school students, the dominant strategies among girls and boys are: relaxing by listening to music, sport, walking, cinema, ignoring the situation that caused tension and taking responsibility for one's own actions.

Full textAbstract:
The overrepresentation of female minor offenders in the juvenile justice system and the more severe handling of them than of males committing the same type of offense have come under attack as evidence of discriminatory practices. Defenders of the system claim that official statistics reflect de facto differences in the delinquent behavior of boys and girls and that differences in treatment correspond to the different needs of each gender group. A review of recent research invalidates such justifications by showing that (1) there is no evidence of gender specialization in behavior classified as minor offenses, and (2) the causal factors explaining involvement in minor delinquency are much the same for boys and girls. Furthermore, school attachment, at the peak age of involvement in minor delinquency (15-16), appears to function equally for males and females as a stronger restraint than family attachments. It is concluded that schools should play a much more central role in prevention programs for both groups.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding differences and similarities between male and female juvenile offenders is critically important for determining the treatment needs of each group. Less is known, however, about the similarities and differences among female juvenile offenders and the variation in their needs, risks, and psychosocial profiles. Understanding the variation among female juvenile offenders could lead to improvements in gender-responsive interventions and treatment. Latent profile analysis was conducted to construct risk-need profiles in a state-based sample of incarcerated girls ( N = 203) based on a range of psychosocial subscales covering family, peer, school and cognitive and emotional processes, psychopathology, and antisocial outcomes. Findings revealed four distinct groups/profiles with varying levels of risk-needs— Aggression Only (51%), Alcohol and Drug Use (19%), Socioemotional and Family Relationship Problems (24%), and Severe Alcohol and Drug Use (6%)—warranting the need for varying levels of treatment intensity and different treatment components across subgroups, ranging from less to more extensive.

Full textAbstract:
Drug use prevalence data were obtained from 969 adolescents, high school students and imprisoned offenders who reported use of cough medicine, organic solvents, cannabis, heroin, tranquilizers, and narcotics over the past six months. Incarcerated youths, in particular girls, had higher prevalence rates than students. Drug use frequencies were associated with psychosocial variables such as disinhibition, peer drug use, susceptibility to peer pressure, attitudes, encouragement by peers, and perceived availability of drugs. The psychosocial process of the initiation and maintenance of substance use was specified as a path model that considered 1) personality and social environment as distal precursors and 2) a drug-use predisposition and perceived availability as proximal precursors of three kinds of outcome variables: drug use, the intention to try illicit drugs if they were legal, and adverse outcomes of drug use. It was found that the same structural equation model fit the data of both samples of offenders and students, however, with very different weights assigned to the paths.

Full textAbstract:
Handgun carrying is associated with a wide range of delinquent behaviors, but very little is known about sex differences in this behavior and current trends in handgun carrying in the United States. Using data from the 2002 to 2015 National Study of Drug Use and Health surveys, we found that the prevalence of handgun carrying among girls nearly doubled from 0.9% to 1.7% with most of this increase seen among non-Hispanic White and Hispanic girls. Although boys are more likely to carry handguns, approximately 20% of the total handgun carrying by adolescents in the United States occurs among girls. Both male and female adolescents who have carried a handgun in the past year evince a behavioral profile that is characterized by substance use, versatile delinquency, elevated risk propensity, and substantial school and family problems. However, adjusted odds ratios are consistently higher for females, suggesting that girls who engage in handgun carrying represent an important subgroup of potentially pernicious offenders that should be targeted for primary and tertiary prevention and juvenile justice system oversight.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – Research has demonstrated that girls are involved in gangs as members and affiliates. However, the psychological processes related to female gang membership has, to date, not been examined using a rigorous comparative design. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether female gang members exhibit distinct psychological and behavioral features when compared to female non-gang youth. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 117 female students were recruited from all-girls’ secondary schools in London, UK. Gang members (n=22; identified using the Eurogang definition) were compared to non-gang youth (n=95) on self-report measures of criminal activity, sexual activity, self-esteem, anti-authority attitudes, their perceived importance of social status, and hypermasculinity, using a series of MANCOVAs. Findings – The results found that gang members reported significantly more criminal activity, sexual activity, unwanted sexual contact, and held more anti-authority attitudes when compared to their non-gang counterparts. Practical implications – These findings support Pyrooz et al.’s (2014) findings that gang membership contributes to the theoretical conceptualization of the victim-offender overlap. Practitioners need to take this into consideration when working with female gang members. Originality/value – There is very little research that explicitly examines the characteristics of female gang members with suitable comparison groups. This study adds to the growing literature on female involvement in gangs and highlights the distinct psychological and behavioral characteristics of this group. In summary, these findings support the notion that female gang members are both at risk of being sexually exploited and engaging in criminal activities.

Abstract.PEER VIOLENCE IN TEENAGERS THROUGH INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESPeer violence through Information and Communication Technologies is a recent phenomenon but it is expanding rapidly, so that it is necessary to undertake an analysis of the reality, in order to establish guidelines for proposals or educational intervention to promote the prevention of this new way of peer violence. The aim of this study is to analyze the incidence of the phenomenon of violence among peers through ICTs in educational stage 1st and 2nd years of ESO in the city of Badajoz, and its relationship with the gender variable, as well as knowing their level of equipment in these technologies. The sample is formed by 193 schoolchildren, from the first and second year of secondary education of three Secondary Education High Schools and a school of the city of Badajoz (Spain). For data collection, a questionnaire has been developed, which included the three parties involved in the phenomenon: offender, victim and viewer. In relation with the test sample, it has been detected a higher prevalence in girls of this kind of situations, both as victims and aggressors. Likewise, a high level of equipment in TICs, mobile phones, tablets or computers has been found in the pupils studied.Keywords: Peer violence; cyberbullying; teenagers; Information and Communication Technologies.Resumen.La violencia entre los adolescentes a través de las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación es un fenómeno reciente, pero que se está extendiendo muy rápidamente, por lo que se hace necesario acometer el análisis de la realidad con el fin de establecer propuestas u orientaciones de intervención socioeducativa, que favorezcan la prevención de esta nueva forma de violencia entre iguales. El objetivo principal de este estudio ha sido analizar la incidencia del fenómeno de la violencia entre iguales a través de las TICs en la etapa educativa de 1º y 2º de la ESO de algunos institutos de la ciudad de Badajoz, con relación a la variable sexo. Así como conocer su nivel de equipamiento en estas tecnologías.La muestra estuvo compuesta de 193 adolescentes de ambos sexos, de 1º y 2º curso de la ESO, de tres Institutos de Educación Secundaria y un Colegio de la ciudad de Badajoz (España). Para la obtención de datos se ha elaborado un cuestionario, en el que se han incluido a las tres partes implicadas en el fenómeno, agresor, víctima y espectador. Se ha detectado una mayor prevalencia de las chicas en este tipo de situaciones, tanto como víctima, como agresor, en relación a la muestra analizada. Asimismo, se ha constatado un alto nivel de equipamiento en las TICs, teléfono móvil, tableta u ordenador, en el alumnado estudiado.Palabras clave: Violencia entre iguales; ciberbullying; adolescencia; tecnologías de la información y la Comunicación

Contrary to some earlier Norwegian studies the response rate is fairly high and sexually abuse is more clearly defined. The results are compared with an earlier Norwegian study. A clear gendered pattern can be seen in the data: about a quarter of the young correspondents have experienced sexual offenses, among them 77 percent are girls while 90 per cent of the offenders are males. The same pattern appears in other Nordic studies. Most of the reported sexual offenses towards girls take place when they are in their early teens and the offender is usually a boy some years older, in his teens or early twenties. A sexually offended girl reports more often the use of force or physical violence during the event than an offended boy does. The family is an arena with relatively fewer reported cases of sexually abuse or offences in this study than those of earlier research. We cannot say if this implies a decrease of sexual abuse within the family in Norway but international studies indicate such a tendency in some western countries. To be able to see how the picture of sexual abuse develops in society across time, for instance in a youth population, well prepared prevalence studies should be done within regular time-intervals</p></span></span></p></span></span>

Full textAbstract:
Bibliotherapy (use of books) is employed in this study with the intention to control the behaviour of young girls resident in a correctional home. This is relevant to the work of school librarians because they can help to find appropriate books that would influence positively the behaviour of young people in correctional homes. Thirty-six female participants took part in the bibliotherapy sessions that made use of Focus Group Discussion (FGD). These girls were separated into two categories - child offenders (17 girls) and out of parental control (19 girls). The study employed the use of a Nigerian authored story book which was read to them during the FGD for 10 weeks. The study found that after reading and discussion of themes in the book, the participants had more understanding of what good behaviour entailed. They became remorseful and sober which was evident during the discussions.

Full textAbstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)<br>This study explored the perspectives of Black mothers and daughters as they
contemplated how two institutions ---schools and prisons/jails -- influenced their
relationship with one another. As the incarceration rates for Black females increase in the
U.S., examinations of these perspectives can produce insights about the impacts of
schools and jails/prisons on the lives of these girls and women, and more pointedly, about
the perceived contributions of racist and misogynistic forces on the Black mother-Black
daughter relationship. Three pairs of mother-daughter dyads were selected and
interviewed for the study. The daughters were Black middle school-aged girls between
the ages 10 and 14, and the mothers were of varying ages. Two specific research
questions centered on: (1) the participants’ perceptions of how these institutions have had
an influence mother and daughter relationships, and (2) how they dealt with problems
they faced either separately or together that were associated with school (for both
participants in the dyad) and/or that resulted from the jail/prison experience (for the
mother). Interviews were analyzed using phenomenological research methods and metaanalyzed
from a critical feminist framework. Findings show that both mother and
daughter have been resourceful in maintaining strong ties despite the array of forces that
challenged these unions. Participants from both sides of these mothers and daughters
dyads expressed how mothers’ parenting styles, lifestyle decisions, and self-perceptions
were effected by the institutions of schooling and criminal justice. Although the findings
of the study offered a glimpse of participants’ perspectives on racism and sexism as
forces that influenced their experiences, the relationship issues between them were most
prevalent. Further research is recommended to uncover more of the intricacies of sexism
and racism as they relate to relationships and personal issues of Black, formerly
incarcerated mothers and their pre-teen and teenaged daughters.

Full textAbstract:
Aggressive and antisocial acts need to be prevented because (1) they cause serious problems to the individuals who are at the receiving end, (2) they lead to fear and escalation in the community, and (3) they often indicate that the offender has a history of mental health problems. Physical aggression and many other forms of antisocial behavior appear during the first few years after birth. Although most learn to regulate them by the time they enter the formal school system, a substantial minority of children do not. This lack of socialization on their part often has important consequences well into adulthood. This chapter will not only review studies of antisocial behaviors globally, but will focus on subtypes of conduct disorder. Indeed, although there may be commonalities between antisocial behaviors, these may not necessarily follow the same developmental course, share the same correlates, or develop jointly. Further, these may be manifested differently in boys and girls. It is only with a better understanding of these developmental factors that we may improve the effectiveness of prevention and corrective interventions.
