Abstract
The study investigated the moderation of race on the relationship between established recidivism correlates (aggression, substance use, age at first offense, trauma) and Justice Involved Youth (JIY) recidivism frequency. Moderation models were formed from JIY data. Race was not a supported moderator between the correlates and recidivism frequency.
