RT Article T1 Preliminary Cross-Sectional Validation of the CROPS 14-Item for Juvenile Offenders$d JF International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology VO 64 IS 12 SP 1258 OP 1274 A1 Edner, Benjamin J. A1 Calhoun, Georgia B. A1 Glaser, Brian A. A1 Piegore, Ashley L. LA English YR 2020 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1738661105 AB The Child Report of Posttraumatic Symptoms (CROPS) is an effective 26-item trauma assessment tool. Research has indicated a 14-item version of the CROPS for juvenile offenders with improved predictive accuracy for detecting trauma exposure among male offenders and commensurate accuracy for female offenders. However, the 14-item scale has yet to be validated for juvenile offenders with an established trauma measure. Cross-sectional retrospective data of 74 adjudicated youth (59.5% male) from the original CROPS 14-item psychometric study sample were used to examine the factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent and divergent validity of the 14-item scale. Findings indicated strong internal consistency and significant correlations with all scales of an established and more extensive trauma measure for children and adolescents. Findings also revealed a CROPS 12-item model explaining 36.9% of variance. Results supported both convergent and divergent validity, suggesting both the CROPS 14-item and 12-item may be used as valid trauma symptom screeners for juvenile offenders.
