Juvenile crime is a growing problem in Malawi. International research has focussed on the causes of this type of crime in an attempt to explain and deal with this phenomenon. This study adds to the scholarly knowledge by exploring the life stories of 22 male juvenile offenders currently incarcerated for various crimes in Malawi. Semi-structured life-history interviews were conducted and results are consistent with the existing literature - specifically on risk factors, control theories and life-course theories. This study showed that several factors in childhood and adolescence contributed to the participants' offending behaviour. Participants also made sense of their behaviour by constructing themselves as victims of life circumstances, spiritual and supernatural forces, and an inequitable justice system. Some of these attributional models are uncommon in criminological literature.

This study was designed to evaluate the ability of Mind Reading, a computerized program created for individuals with autism spectrum disorders, to improve the emotion recognition abilities of juvenile offenders. Emotion recognition is one component of empathy, a quality that has been shown to be deficient in juvenile offenders. Determining methods to help reduce offending, including investigating whether subcomponents of empathy can be impacted individually, is necessary to help improve the safety of society and to provide effective services to offenders. The study contributed to the body of knowledge related to impacting the behaviors of juvenile offenders. A sample of 13 juveniles offenders was divided into treatment and control groups. Both groups completed pretreatment assessments of empathy and emotion recognition. The treatment group used the Mind Reading program; the control group had treatment as usual. The two control groups were reevaluated after the intervention to determine if the Mind Reading program impacted either overall empathy or emotion recognition skills. The study results did not reach statistical significance as there was not enough power to detect changes. Although not statistically significant, the treatment group demonstrated a trend toward higher levels of emotion recognition, indicating the potential utility of the Mind Reading program and the need for larger studies to further investigate the program?s utility. An individualized, computer-based education/treatment program could potentially provide support to a large number of difficult-to-reach youth.

Investigation of the variations in aspirant juvenile probation officers' recommendations for a juvenile offender who may suffer from a mental health disorder was the purpose of this study. Two hypotheses were developed to test this purpose: a) there was a significant difference between the recommendations of mental health evaluations and b) there was a significant difference in the recommendations for a mental health evaluation prior to and after the mental health overview administered among two groups. A survey was administered to 13 undergraduate students with an aspiration to be juvenile probation officers. The survey consisted of a pretest and posttest questionnaire following a case vignette where a juvenile offender meeting the criteria for conduct disorder was described to measure if the mental health overview would increase the participant's likelihood of recommending a mental health evaluation. A Chi Square and McNemar Test were completed. The statistical analyses and implications are discussed.
