Examining the Reliability and Validity of the Criminal Sentiments Scale-Modified and the Pride in Delinquency Scale in Black and White Canadian Justice System-Involved Youth.
Article in Criminal justice and behavior, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Procriminal attitudes, key recidivism predictors in the Risk-Need-Responsivity framework, differ among Black and White individuals. However, the procriminal attitudes domain and associated measures have not been critically examined based on race. We examined psychometric properties of the Criminal Sentiments Scale-Modified (CSS-M) and the Pride in Delinquency Scale (PIDS) in 473 justice system-involved Black and White youth. Both scales showed acceptable internal reliability, construct validity, and convergent validity across groups. Procriminal attitudes aligned with antisocial behavior and substance use for White youth, but this was less pronounced for Black youth. The five-factor CSS-M predicted recidivism for White youth, and the PIDS improved predictions. For Black youth, the CSS-M Total and Police subscale, but not the PIDS, predicted recidivism. Results suggest caution in the use of these tools with Black youth. Future research should investigate the role of procriminal attitudes in offending for marginalized groups.
