The prospective associations between DLD and offending, and the educational and criminal justice pathways through which DLD might increase the risk of offending and reoffending, remain unclear. Methods We analysed existing data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (maximum N?=?6,800; 51% female; 9% with DLD) with linked school data (national pupil database) and crime records (Avon and Somerset police records for offences committed between ages 13 and 29?years in the region). DLD was determined when the individuals were aged 7?9?years using direct assessments and parent reports. Regression and mediation models were fitted to the data. Results Individuals with DLD were more likely (odds ratio 1.74, 95% confidence intervals 1.25, 2.44) to have a recorded offence (i.e. charged or cautioned by the police) compared to those without DLD. School suspension was a significant mediator of the relationship between DLD and recorded offending. However, SEN identification was not associated with recorded offending for those with DLD. There was also no difference in the odds of being given an out of court disposal or reoffending for individuals with DLD compared to those without DLD. Conclusions Individuals who have DLD are more likely to be cautioned or convicted for an offence by the police than those without DLD, and this may in part be because they are more likely than those without DLD to be suspended from school.

Executive function mediates the prospective association between neurostructural differences within the central executive network and anti-social behavior after childhood traumatic brain injury / Nicholas P. RYAN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 62-9 (September 2021)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 62-9 (September 2021) . - p.1150-1161 Titre : Executive function mediates the prospective association between neurostructural differences within the central executive network and anti-social behavior after childhood traumatic brain injury Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nicholas P. RYAN, Auteur ; Cathy CATROPPA, Auteur ; Nathan HUGHES, Auteur ; Felicity L. PAINTER, Auteur ; Stephen HEARPS, Auteur ; Miriam H. BEAUCHAMP, Auteur ; Vicki ANDERSON, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1150-1161 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Brain/diagnostic imaging  Brain Injuries, Traumatic/diagnostic imaging  Child  Executive Function  Humans  Longitudinal Studies  Prospective Studies  Anti-social behavior  aggression  childhood traumatic brain injury  longitudinal design  structural MRI Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Despite increasing evidence of a link between early life brain injury and anti-social behavior, very few studies have assessed factors that explain this association in children with traumatic brain injury (TBI). One hypothesis suggests that childhood TBI elevates risk for anti-social behavior via disruption to anatomically distributed neural networks implicated in executive functioning (EF). In this longitudinal prospective study, we employed high-resolution structural neuroimaging to (a) evaluate the impact of childhood TBI on regional morphometry of the central executive network (CEN) and (b) evaluate the prediction that lower EF mediates the prospective relationship between structural differences within the CEN and postinjury anti-social behaviors. METHODS: This study involved 155 children, including 112 consecutively recruited, hospital-confirmed cases of mild-severe TBI and 43 typically developing control (TDC) children. T1-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences were acquired sub-acutely in a subset of 137 children [TBI: n = 103; TDC: n = 34]. All participants were evaluated using direct assessment of EF 6 months postinjury, and parents provided ratings of anti-social behavior 12 months postinjury. RESULTS: Severe TBI was associated with postinjury volumetric differences within the CEN and its putative hub regions. When compared with TD controls, the TBI group had significantly worse EF, which was associated with more frequent anti-social behaviors and abnormal CEN morphometry. Mediation analysis indicated that reduced EF mediated the prospective association between postinjury volumetric differences within the CEN and more frequent anti-social behavior. CONCLUSIONS: Our longitudinal prospective findings suggest that detection of neurostructural abnormalities within the CEN may aid in the early identification of children at elevated risk for postinjury executive dysfunction, which may in turn contribute to chronic anti-social behaviors after early life brain injury. Findings underscore the potential value of early surveillance and preventive measures for children presenting with neurostructural and/or neurocognitive risk factors.

Language impairment and comorbid vulnerabilities among young people in custody / Nathan HUGHES in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-10 (October 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-10 (October 2017) . - p.1106-1113 Titre : Language impairment and comorbid vulnerabilities among young people in custody Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Nathan HUGHES, Auteur ; Prathiba CHITSABESAN, Auteur ; Karen BRYAN, Auteur ; Rohan BORSCHMANN, Auteur ; Nathaniel SWAIN, Auteur ; Charlotte LENNOX, Auteur ; Jennifer SHAW, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1106-1113 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Young offenders  language disorder  communication  mental health  assessment Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background While the prevalence of language and communication difficulties among young people in custody is well established, holistic understanding of the complexity and co-occurrence of additional vulnerabilities among this population are rare. Methods Ninety-three young people in a young offenders institution in England were assessed using the Comprehensive Health Assessment Tool, the Test of Word Knowledge, and a range of additional assessments of communication, cognition, and neurodevelopmental difficulties. Results Forty-seven percent of the young people demonstrated an aspect of language skills significantly below the population average, with more than one in four identified as having impairment. Only one in four of those with an impairment had previously accessed speech and language services. Language needs were associated with difficulties with social communication and nonverbal cognition, as well as higher risk of self-harm and substance misuse. Conclusions Earlier identification of language difficulties requires routine assessment of young people at risk of engagement in offending behavior. Where language difficulties are identified, holistic assessments of needs should be undertaken. There is a need for speech and language therapy provision within youth justice services, as well as in other services accessed by young people at risk of engagement in offending.
