with sex trafficking survivors, rooted in the existing theory and
practice literatures. Based in current research and clinical

and informative outline of sex trafficking, associated legal
aspects, and best practices for mental health clinicians to aid in
successful treatment of sex trafficking survivors.
This brief explores the research on psychopaths in various settings
and in everyday life. Psychopaths are often predatory by nature but
may appear normal to laypersons. Individuals working in health
professions, forensic occupations, education and corporate
environments are likely to encounter a person with psychopathic
traits at some point in their respective careers; this brief
highlights the value of being able to identify a person with
psychopathic traits, to understand the implications, and to
navigate any interactions. With recommendations for assessment and
for guiding future interactions, this brief will be beneficial to
mental health professionals, practitioners and researchers in
psychology, forensic occupations, corrections, education,
healthcare, and professionals in corporate environments.
This brief explores the current theories, trends, risk factors, and
intervention efforts related to juvenile crime. Although arrest
rates for juveniles in the US have declined over the last two
decades, the amount of severe crimes warrants increased examination
as the US reports higher rates than most other developed countries.
The authors examine individual, family, and environmental risk and
protective factors for juvenile crime, while considering the need
for better integration of treatment into critically at-risk areas
of the community. Covering notable topics of interest for
researchers and public policy makers alike, this brief provides an
overview of factors and trends related to juvenile crime, aiming to
support more effective, evidence-based treatment and prevention.
This book focuses on the small but disturbing percentage of
homicides by children that occur each year, providing a brief
overview of the legal, individual, and social aspects of this
phenomenon. Since the 1980s, these crimes have been on the rise and
the resulting legal response has been harsher punishments as well
as treatment of children like adults. This has led to a host of
failures in the juvenile justice system wherein recidivism is high
and general outcome is low. The book reviews the literature on
youth homicide, including gender, age, and race factors, as well as
individual, familial, and environmental risks. The authors seek to
aid in the identification and understanding of juvenile homicide to
raise awareness of both a population that receives little formal
psychological intervention and of the systemic deficiencies that
affect these individuals as well as society itself. Exploring
current theories, trends, and common factors in juvenile homicide,
this brief aims to improve prevention, intervention, and
reintegration of young offenders into the community.
