520 |a The main aim of this chapter is to study early risk factors for juvenile and youthful homicide offenders in the Pittsburgh Youth Study (PYS). The PYS is a prospective longitudinal study of 1517 males who were first studied in 1987–88 at ages 7–13. Of these males, 40 became convicted homicide offenders: eight as juveniles (ages 15-17), 23 as young adults (ages 18-20), and nine as adults (ages 21-26). In addition, 37 males were arrested for homicide but not convicted. Seven explanatory (nonbehavioral) risk factors significantly predicted juvenile homicide offenders: African American race, living in an area with a high percentage of African Americans, living in a bad neighborhood according to census data, a family with low socioeconomic status, peer delinquency, peer substance use, and having bad friends. In addition, eight behavioral risk factors significantly predicted juvenile homicide offenders: a high screening risk score, selling hard drugs, being suspended from school, cruelty to animals, carrying a gun, carrying a weapon, conduct disorder, and a positive attitude to delinquency. Early risk factors for other types of homicide offenders are also presented, and some implications for criminological theory and prevention policy are discussed.
