Objectives To investigate whether psychosocial interventions for justice-involved youth are equally effective at reducing delinquent behavior for males and females. Methods We used meta-analysis to test for gender differences in intervention effects for justice-involved youth, including 10 randomized controlled trials that permitted assessment of gender-specific effect sizes. Results Findings show interventions were ineffective at reducing delinquency overall d = -0.006, p = .921. Moreover, there was no significant difference in recidivism outcomes by gender, Q = .071, p = .790; psychosocial interventions for justice-involved youth yielded null effects for males, d = 0.006, p = .933, and females, d = -.027, p = .785. Conclusions This study is the first meta-analysis focused on gender differences in intervention effects for justice-involved youth. Our findings suggest a need for further study to better understand what works for reducing recidivism among juvenile justice-involved males and females.
