Juvenile Delinquency and Disability: Advancing Responsible Adolescent Development

Autor Kristin C. Thompson, Richard J. Morris
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 apr 2016
This book discusses the relationship between juvenile disability and delinquency, including characteristics of youth with disabilities, how disability relates to delinquency, and its impact during a youth’s involvement with the juvenile justice system. The book details the relationship between developmental, cognitive, psychological, and educational disorders—specific conditions including ADHD, bipolar disorder, and autism spectrum disorder—and delinquency in light of both their overrepresentation among youth offenders and the uninformed handling of these youth within the court system. Case studies illustrate the complexities in the processing and placement of these youth offenders, as well as highlight the barriers to delinquent youth receiving appropriate treatment, and their increased risk of reoffending. From this robust knowledge base, the authors make expert recommendations for improving the juvenile justice system at the practice and policy levels to better serve this population.
This authoritative volume:
• Identifies characteristics and risk factors associated with juvenile delinquency.
• Reviews evidence relating developmental, mental health, and other disorders to juvenile offending.
• Describes the implications of disabilities in key areas such as offending, risk assessment, competency, and outcomes.
• Examines the role of disability law in the juvenile justice system.
• Offers guidelines for professionals to use this knowledge in their work.
Juvenile Delinquency and Disability is an essential resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in clinical, counseling, and school psychology, criminology and criminal justice, child psychiatry, educational policy and politics, developmental psychology, and social work.

Recenzii

“This book explores the intersection between juvenile disability and delinquency, examining the over‐representation of youth with developmental and mental health conditions in the juvenile justice system and providing recommendations for positive changes in the juvenile justice system. … The book is aimed at researchers, scientist‐practitioners, and graduate students in clinical, counseling, and school psychology, criminology and criminal justice, child psychiatry, educational policy andpolitics, developmental psychology, and social work.” (Gary B. Kaniuk, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2017)
“The authors present an insightful book that incorporates information regarding the prevalence of disabilities in the juvenile justice system, potential predictors for at-risk youth, and the etiology, diagnosis, and many relevant forms of assessment and treatment for youths at risk of incarceration. … Juvenile Delinquency and Disability is an excellent desk reference for practitioners in the social, medical, and psychological fields that offers suggestions regarding assessment and treatment for long-term beneficial outcomes for juveniles with disabilities in the legal system.” (A. Celeste Harvey and Nancy Kirby, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (5), January, 2017)
