| Popis: | The current study examined the association between perceived procedural injustice of court experiences and emotional, attitudinal, and behavioral outcomes among 94 adolescent and young adult females incarcerated in a high security juvenile facility. Specifically, perceived injustice was related to background characteristics (e.g., race), as well as increased levels of depressive symptoms, institutional offending, and substance use within the facility. These negative effects of perceived injustice were most evident among participants who had been incarcerated for longer periods of time. This suggests that perceived unjust treatment during a court proceeding may have long-term effects once an offender is incarcerated and that both court and correctional settings need to take these perceptions into account. |
