Alright, in this problem we have, according to the pathways of desistence study, which of the following was not true about juvenile delinquencies? is it the case that supervision, i'm gonna put supervision, supervision reduces risk? is it the case that substance abuse was a strong factor? i'm gonna put substance, i'm just gonna put substance.
00:24
Initial offense, so we're gonna say re -offending, re -offending.
00:33
Or is it the case that we have initial offense, most youth, most youth did not continue in serious offending.
00:41
Alright, so continuing, continuing, they did not continue to offend.
00:48
Well let's go through these one by one.
00:49
Well, it's been shown in studies that those who are supervised are much more likely to not re -offend.
00:58
And that's because, obviously, there's an old phrase, when the cat's away, the mice will play.
01:03
And so if you supervise, or a child left to himself brings his mother to shame, spare the rod and hate the child, right? so the idea is if you supervise someone who is offending socially, then they're not going to do it nearly as much.
01:24
Substance abuse, well that has been clearly shown to be heavily correlated with delinquent activity, right? obviously if you get somebody hooked on meth or cocaine or any number of substances, then they're going to be more likely to persist in criminal activity because they have their priorities towards getting more of their addiction...
