Abstract
When youth feel connected to the authorities and institutions of their communities, they are less likely to violate norms and more likely to demonstrate prosocial behaviour (Eccles & Gootman, 2001). Delinquent youth pose a challenge to educators and clinicians as they often marginalize themselves from families and institutions, such as schools, that may be able to positively influence their outcomes. This study examined the relationship between delinquency and civic engagement, traditionally two separate areas of research. It also provided information regarding the contextual influences on civic engagement beliefs (e.g., family, school, community) in delinquent youth. In accordance with a hypothesized model, relationships between delinquent attitudes and behaviours, civic engagement attitudes and behaviours, support for civic engagement attitudes and behaviours (family, school and community) and opportunities for civic engagement were examined. The sample consisted of 151 adolescents aged 14-18 years with a range of delinquent behaviour and experience with the justice system from young offender and public school sites in the Greater Toronto Area. Questionnaire measures were used to obtain demographic information, ratings of civic engagement attitudes and behaviours and support for civic engagement attitudes and behaviours. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with youth in relation to their perceived opportunities for civic engagement, experiences with civic engagement, self-reported delinquency and history with the justice system. There were significant but modest negative correlations between: (1) delinquent behaviours and attitudes and civic engagement behaviours and attitudes, and (2) delinquent behaviours and attitudes and opportunities for civic engagement. Family support was shown to have a mediating effect on the relationship between: (1) delinquent attitudes and civic engagement behaviours, and (2) delinquent attitudes and civic engagement attitudes. Youths' reported experiences with civic engagement differed by age, race, socioeconomic status, sample type (young offender and public school) and community involvement. These findings are discussed in terms of their theoretical and clinical implications. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

How this classification was reachedexpand
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.
