“…This individual assessment procedure should be done before the court’s decision in order to inform the judge about the mental health needs of any particular young offender. Such an assessment should also help the judge to decide about the nature of the intervention provided by the juvenile justice and/or health services [17, 43]. Finally, though it is well established that recidivism risk assessment in forensic settings can provide information about the nature, intensity, and length of interventions [44, 45], the mental health paradigm can provide specific models targeting the core processes underling these youth’s dysregulation problems, which may represent possible maintenance factors of their criminal behavior and/or relevant variables concerning treatment responsiveness [46].…”

“…An extensive amount of research has examined legal and extralegal factors, particularly racial disparities, in decisions to process youth in the juvenile justice system, but little research has explored the role of mental health problems (Cappon & Vander Laenen, 2013; Cauffman et al, 2007; Leiber, Johnson, Fox, & Lacks, 2007). More specifically, research has found minorities are treated more severely in the juvenile justice decision-making process leading to a disproportionate number of minorities in the system (Kempf-Leonard, 2007; Piquero, 2008).…”

“…The potential interaction of the mental health of a juvenile offender, which has been known to affect judicial decision‐making (e.g. Cappon & Vander, ), and knowledge on adolescent development should also be discussed in the future. Further, judges are also often influential throughout the entire legal process, from pre‐trial to sentencing (Malleson, ).…”
