The increased use of biosocial explanations in criminology has extended the understanding of theetiology of the development of adolescent antisocial behavior. At the same time, their practicalutility for preventive and remedial intervention has not been examined to the same degree. Usinga large, nationally representative sample of U.S. youth and a series of latent growth curvemodels, this study examines the utility of genetic indicators and more traditional risk measures(including individual mental and behavior health) in predicting the onset and later developmentalpatterns of adolescent delinquency and substance use. The study considers the two approachescomparatively and also examines the likelihood that the knowledge they provide might beintegrated in ways that inform prevention and treatment of problem behaviors in adolescence.Ménage à Trois: The Braiding of Cognitive Behavioral Interventions,Implementation Science and Adult Learning Systematically Applied in aCorrectional System: An Analysis on a Multifaceted Approach of BridgingScience to ServiceEva Kishimoto, University of Cincinnati (kishimotoeva808@gmail.com)This paper will explore the strengths as well as the system challenges in undertaking a systemwide transformation to evidence based practices. Analysis will be done in the multiple domainsinvolved in bringing about the end result: delivery of high fidelity interventions. Furthermore,barriers to addressing these areas of challenge will be discussed. These qualitative findings willcontribute to the literature on knowledge transfer.119. Offenders and InmatesThe Concept Of Protective Factors Applied To Dangerous OffendersTiziana Costi, Institut Philippe Pinel de Montreal (tiziana.costi.ippm@ssss.gouv.qc.ca)The concept of protective factors helps to refine the assessment of risk. After years of practicingstructured professional judgment (SPJ) in the evaluation of risk, as clinicians in the forensic fieldwe have realized that we only aimed at risk factors. The factors that mitigate risk are calledprotective factors. The study of these factors has developed over the last few years. Takingpositive factors into account not only gives an improved and more comprehensive assessment ofrisk, it also helps to find more specific goals for treatment. In the past few years, instrumentshave been created to help assess these protective factors. Among them, the SAPROF (StructuredAssessment of PROtective Factors) is a very promising tool. It has already been translated intomany languages and is used in many countries. It includes seventeen factors, divided into threecategories: internal, motivational and external. After a brief presentation on this instrument, wewill discuss protective factors in relation to dangerous offenders (recidivists with high risk of282
