Identification of determinants of institutional misconduct by juvenile offenders caries promise for enhancement of behavioural management strategies employed in juvenile correctional settings. Although there is a large volume of research on predictors of institutional misconduct by adults, there is little research on the adjustment of delinquent youths within correctional facilities. In this study, we investigated a range of determinants of actual assaultive misconduct by incarcerated juvenile offenders. While research on juvenile offenders has traditionally focused on the study of risk factors, this study highlights the importance of assessing and tapping in to the protective factors and strengths of this population in order to enhance risk assessment and to guide development of more effective prevention and intervention programs.
