“…These types of childhood experiences have been found to have pronounced and long-lasting effects, especially among criminal justice populations (Abram et al, 2007;Ford et al, 2004;James & Glaze, 2006). Several mental health theoreticians have explanations for the impact of psychosocial stressors (such as being a victim and/or witness to violence, or losing a loved one) on mental health and aggressive and self-destructive behaviors (van der Kolk, McFarlane, & Weisaeth, 1996).…”

“…However, no research has yet been carried out to investigate these relationships among adolescent offenders, in whom rates of mental disorders are strikingly high (Abram et al, 2007;Teplin et al, 2006;Wasserman et al, 2004). If shame is associated with psychopathology among young offenders, it could represent an important treatment target.…”

Remorse has long been important to the juvenile justice system. However, the nature of this construct has not yet been clearly articulated, and little research has examined its relationships with other theoretically and legally relevant variables. The present study was intended to address these issues by examining relationships among remorse, psychopathology, and psychopathy in a sample of adolescent offenders (N = 97) using the theoretically and empirically established framework of guilt and shame (Tangney & Dearing, 2002). Findings indicated that shame was positively related to behavioural features of psychopathy, whereas guilt was negatively related to psychopathic characteristics more broadly. In addition, shame was positively associated with numerous mental health problems whereas guilt was negatively associated with anger, depression, and anxiety. These results provide empirical support for theory that psychopathy is characterized by lack of remorse (e.g., Hare, 1991), and also underscore shame and guilt as potentially important treatment targets for adolescent offenders.

“…To illustrate, justice-involved youth often have experienced multiple forms of traumatic stressors, including victimization (e.g., abuse, family and community violence), life-threatening accidents or disasters, and interpersonal losses (Abram et al 2004(Abram et al , 2007Ford et al 2008). Research consistently demonstrates that estimates of traumatic and complex trauma stressor prevalence are higher among youth in juvenile justice programs relative to community samples.…”

This special issue of Child and Youth Care Forum includes four original research reports that build on the field's knowledge of trauma stress exposure and PTSD in justice-involved youth. Utilizing diverse methodologies, study authors report unique results investigating important questions related to screening and assessment of justiceinvolved populations, the potential linkage between violence exposure and violence perpetration, and the complex relationships between trauma exposure in childhood and specific problematic offending behaviors. Each article includes specific clinical implications and recommendations for future research to provide useful information to juvenile justice administrators, mental health professionals, and researchers involved in the care and management of trauma exposed youth within the juvenile justice system. This introduction provides an overview of how empirical studies of the nature and sequelae of traumatic stress exposure are currently a focus for research and services in the juvenile justice field, highlighting how the articles in the Special Issue exemplify the progress to date, and promise for the future, of several lines of research involving psychometrics, health and correctional services, and clinical epidemiology.It is well established that exposure to traumatic stressors places children and youth at risk for a range of serious internalizing (e.g., posttraumatic stress, anxiety, depression, somatic complaints) and externalizing (anger, aggression, oppositional-defiant, conduct disorder, substance abuse) problems (Copeland et al. 2007;Fairbank et al. 2007). We also know that exposure to traumatic stressors often is cumulative, involving repeated episodes over

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Psychiatric Comorbidity Among Detained Youths

Abstract: Detection of comorbid PTSD among detained youths must be improved. PTSD is often missed because traumatic experiences are rarely included in standard screens or volunteered by patients. When planning treatment, clinicians must consider ramifications of comorbid PTSD.
