The Mental Health Needs of Young Offenders: Forging Paths toward Reintegration and Rehabilitation
Louis James Kraus
The majority of young people in the American juvenile justice system have diagnosable mental illnesses, but these often remain undetected and untreated. In this book, a team of experts examines epidemiology, screening, diagnosis and treatment. They also cover innovative alternatives to detention; ethical dilemmas; preventive strategies; and integrated cross-disciplinary approaches.
