The current study investigated the clinical utility of the Juvenile Offender Parent and Guardian Questionnaire (JOPGQ) in identifying environmental and personality characteristics to accurately predict recidivism rates among juvenile offenders. Archival data collected by master’s and doctoral-level students from the University of Georgia’s Juvenile Counseling and Assessment Program (JCAP) were utilized for this study. Juvenile history including the number and types of offenses were examined, as well as parent/guardian and environmental characteristics including exasperation in regard to the child, mistrust of the justice system, shame over parenting self-efficacy, parental monitoring, fear of the child, and the parent perceptions of the child’s exposure to violence. Variables of parental exasperation and parental monitoring were of specific interest in this study. After an extensive screening procedure, 207 male and female adjudicated youth that met the criteria for this study were included in the final sample. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was utilized to examine the potential effects of such characteristics on the recidivism rates of participants included in the sample. Results of logistic regression analysis indicated clinical significance (.029) of the parental monitoring scale of the PGQ in successfully predicting juvenile offender recidivism, relative to the amount of recidivism. Thus, the PGQ appears to be useful in assisting clinicians in their assessment of predicting the potential for recidivism, to better inform treatment planning for their clients. Further discussion of the research findings, implications, limitations to this study, and suggestions for future research will be discussed.
