The Intersection of Juvenile Psychopathy, Protective Factors, Treatment Change, and Diversity in Justice-Involved Youth
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We examined the intersection of juvenile psychopathy with protective factors, dynamic violence risk, and recidivism in a court adjudicated Canadian sample of 257 male and female, ethnoracially diverse youth. The Psychopathy Checklist: Youth Version (PCL:YV) and measures of dynamic violence risk (Violence Risk Scale–Youth Version; VRS-YV) and protective factors (Structured Assessment of Protective Factors–Youth Version; SAPROF-YV) were rated from court and treatment files. Recidivism information was obtained from official criminal records. PCL:YV scores were associated with fewer protective factors and predicted recidivism across gender and ethnoracial (Indigenous vs non-Indigenous) groups; however, PCL:YV scores did not incrementally predict future crime and violence when controlling for violence risk and/or protective factors scores, while both of the latter measures did. Juvenile psychopathy is a clinically relevant construct for justice-involved youth but it does not equate to a lack of protective factors or inability to make treatment-related changes in risk.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
