Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between psychopathic traits and juvenile recidivism, exploring family support as a potential moderating factor. Juvenile offenders with psychopathic traits pose significant rehabilitation challenges. Prior research suggests that social support, particularly from families, may mitigate recidivism risks. A sample of 150 incarcerated youth (ages 14–18) was assessed using the Inventory of Youth Psychopathy Traits-Short Version for psychopathy and the Family Cohesion subscale of the Family Environment Scale for family support. Recidivism data were gathered through self- reports and agency records. Hierarchical regression and moderation analyses were employed. Higher psychopathy levels were strongly associated with increased recidivism. However, family support moderated this relationship, significantly reducing recidivism among high-psychopathy youth. Implement family-focused interventions, such as therapy sessions, parenting programs, and improved family communication strategies, to enhance family cohesion. Future longitudinal studies should explore causal links and additional social support factors to address recidivism comprehensively.
