The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJDDP) recorded 809,700 arrests of youth in 2017. As a result of the significant number of adolescents in contact with the juvenile justice system, scholars have begun researching the collateral consequences of juvenile justice contact. This paper provides insight into the disruptive effects of juvenile justice contact on family relationships through the lenses of life-course and labeling theory. Using all 11 waves of data from the Pathways to Desistance (PTD) project, longitudinal modeling examined the link between a variety of criminal justice contact experiences and family support. Results showed that while age at first arrest was not a significant predictor of changes in family support over time, repeated arrest experiences were significantly associated with robust decreases in family support. Although other forms of criminal justice contact such as age at first arrest and court experiences did not influence family support, findings suggest that life-course scholars should examine how criminal justice system contact influences a wide-range of additional non-offending outcomes.
