Abstract: Purpose: This systematic review and meta-analysis estimates the overall language skills of youth offenders involved with the juvenile justice system. Given the importance of this population, identifying avenues through which we can increase the likelihood of successful interventions is a necessary societal effort.

“…Combining data from multiple studies with similar designs provides a more robust estimate of aggregate effects (Shamseer et al, 2015). Meta-analysis is often used to evaluate intervention efficacy and can be used to synthesize the relations between constructs (e.g., Nguyen et al, 2020), estimate prevalence of population characteristics (e.g., Chow et al, 2022), and advance developmental and psychological theory (e.g., Peng et al, 2020). Narrative reviews synthesize research by narratively exploring findings across studies (Shamseer et al, 2015).…”

“…Similarly, positive social-emotional development in early childhood predicts academic outcomes and later adult mental health, employment, and social relationships (Gasser-Haas et al, 2021; Hammer et al, 2018). Notably, children and youth with mental health and behavioral challenges often present with undiagnosed language disorders in clinical and youth justice populations (Chow et al, 2021b; Cohen et al, 1998).…”

“…All individuals deserve high quality public instruction responsive to their needs, especially in reading. Inequities in literacy give rise to inequities across realms of society (e.g., in the justice system; Chow et al, 2022; Senghor, 2016). Schools, our best hope for inspiring young people to create change in the world, must provide all youth with the gift of literacy as a tool to unlock their potential.…”
