| Abstract | We compared facets of criminogenic needs and their interrelationships between male young offenders and university students in Hong Kong. The participants were 420 incarcerated youth (age = 19.6 years; 48.8% first-time offenders) and 116 university students (age = 19.5 years). The results show that incarcerated youths had significantly greater criminogenic needs as compared with university students; no difference between first-time and repeated offenders was found. Gang membership did not have main or moderating effects on criminogenic needs. Regularized Graphical Gaussian Model revealed that the criminogenic needs were clustered identically across the three groups, while the network comparison test showed that the first-time and repeated offender networks had significant structure invariance compared with the non-offender network. Differences in highly central nodes in terms of strength centrality and bridge expected influence between networks were revealed. |
