Juvenile offending and anti-social behaviour are enormous societal
concerns. This broad-reaching volume summarizes the current
evidence on prevention, diversion, causes, and rates of
delinquency, as well as assessment of risk and intervention needs.
A distinguished cast of contributors from law, psychology, and
psychiatry describe what we know about interventions in school,
community, and residential contexts, focusing particularly on
interventions that are risk reducing and cost effective. Equally
important, each chapter comments on what is not well supported
through research, distinguishing aspects of current practice that
are likely to be effective from those that are not and mapping new
directions for research, policy, and practice. Finally, the volume
provides a description of a model curriculum for training legal and
mental health professionals on conducting relevant assessments of
adolescents for the courts. Effectively bridging research and
practice, this will be an important resource for legal and mental
health professionals involved in the juvenile justice system,
policy makers seeking humane but effective interventions in the
context of society's need for safety, and those involved in
teaching about and training in juvenile delinquency.
