Ecologies of juvenile reoffending: A systematic review of risk factors

•Studies of residential context (i.e., ecological factors) in relation to youth reoffending have dramatically expanded.•Concentrated disadvantage, the most frequently tested ecological factor, predicts re-arrest (pooled OR = 1.09, p = 00.01).•As for other ecological factors, existing research is limited to few contexts and samples, and has yielded mixed results.•Future research that enhances measurement, diversifies samples, and tests theoretical relationships is warranted.
