Sexual Minority Status, Bullying Exposure, Emotion Regulation Difficulties, and Delinquency Among Court-Involved Adolescent Girls
Sexual minority adolescent girls are overrepresented in the justice system. This study used the minority stress model and psychological mediation framework to investigate a pathway for this disparity among court-involved girls ages 14–18 (N = 226; mean age: 15.58; 48% sexual minority). The hypotheses were that sexual minority status would be associated with delinquency, bullying exposure would be associated with delinquency indirectly via emotion regulation difficulties, and the relationship between bullying exposure and emotion regulation difficulties would be stronger for sexual minority girls. Bullying exposure and emotion regulation difficulties were not related. Sexual minority status was related to delinquency, and emotion regulation difficulties mediated this relationship. The findings suggest interventions to build emotion regulation skills may reduce delinquency for sexual minority girls.

You're Being Watched All the Time
Abstract Recent research on systems of social control demonstrates how young men experience surveillance and the harmful effects of these types of practices. However, missing from this discourse is the understanding of how girls experience these practices and the gendered challenges associated with surveillance. In this article, we discuss the experiences of 12 Latina girls who were interviewed inside a juvenile detention center in California. Drawing from semi-structured interviews with them and extensive ethnographic fieldnotes, we examine the perceptions of surveillance experienced by this group of girls. Our findings suggest that girls struggled with the lack of privacy and felt that surveillance practices were degrading. We also discuss how the criminalization of girls through constant surveillance influenced their behavior negatively.

Supporting a Court-Involved Female
A transition-aged youth with an individualized education program has the right to a free, appropriate public education that includes postsecondary transition planning and services. The Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act of 2004 mandates requirements for transition-aged youth to promote positive outcomes in postsecondary education/training, employment, and independent (adult) living. This qualitative, single case study considers the impact of an intervention on the transition knowledge and self-determination of a court-involved Black female with a mild intellectual disability attending a Title 1 high school in the Midwest. Themes related to compliance with Indicator 13 were developed and analyzed. Results indicated that while the individualized education program was legally compliant, it did not reflect the student’s postsecondary goals and was not aligned with her academic and behavioral needs.

Contextual and Behavioral Correlates of Coping Strategies Among an Ethnically Diverse Sample of Urban Adolescents in the Midwestern United States
Coping is recognized as an important life skill. In the present cross-sectional analysis, early adolescents’ relationships with their caregivers (support, conflict) and exposure to stressors (uncontrollable life events, violence) were examined as contextual correlates of both positive and negative coping strategies. Coping strategies were examined as mediators of associations between adolescents’ family and community contexts and adjustment outcomes (externalizing symptoms, internalizing symptoms, academic investment). Participants were recruited from an urban Pre-K-8 school and Boys and Girls Club. Adolescents who reported greater support from caregivers reported greater engagement in all forms of positive coping (behavioral/problem-focused coping, cognitive/emotion-focused coping, and coping through seeking support); they also reported less engagement in coping through anger and helplessness. Adolescents who reported greater conflict with caregivers or violence exposure reported greater engagement in coping through avoidance, anger, and helplessness. Problem-focused coping, coping through anger, and coping through helplessness mediated associations between different contextual factors and outcomes.

An Investigation of Relational Risk and Promotive Factors Associated with Adolescent Female Aggression
Despite growing trends in adolescent female aggression, much adolescent aggression research has focused on males to the exclusion of their female counterparts. Using relational-cultural and social role theories, the current study identifies the risk and promotive factors associated with adolescent female aggression. Using data from the Rural Adaptation Project (a 5 year longitudinal panel study of youth from two rural, ethnically diverse, low income counties in North Carolina), a 2-level hierarchical linear model was estimated (N = 3580). Internalizing symptoms, association with delinquent friends, peer pressure, and parent–child conflict emerged as risk factors whereas teacher support was a significant promotive factor. Results suggest that interventions should focus on negative relationships in both the parent and peer domains and underscore the need for mental health services for aggressive girls.
