<p>This systematic review provides the first comprehensive evaluation of quantitative empirical research on juvenile institutional misconduct. Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, 45 studies published between 1980 and January 2024 were identified. These studies were coded to summarize information on the (1) correlates and causes of institutional misconduct, (2) operationalization of institutional misconduct, and (3) characteristics of study contexts. The operationalization of misconduct varied considerably, and studies were predominantly drawn from youth residing in residential commitment facilities. Utilizing a vote-counting approach, a review of the statistical correlates of misconduct revealed that multiple individual characteristics and few institutional experience measures displayed significant and consistent relationships. Notably, measures regarding youths’ experiences within institutions, characteristics of the facilities, and managerial practices were underdeveloped. Consideration of these lacking perspectives is necessary for future research in order for practitioners to understand the causes and correlates of juvenile institutional misconduct.</p>
