“…An alarming number of adolescents in juvenile custody have been found to have mental health disorders (Gilbert et al, 2015; Teplin et al, 2013). In fact, adolescents in custody have disproportionately higher mental health disorders compared to those in the general population (Gilbert et al, 2015; Teplin et al, 2013). It is necessary to identify risk and protective factors for psychological distress to create effective intervention and prevention programs and policies.…”

The onset of behavioral problems in early childhood is associated with an increased frequency of delinquent behavior. A significant amount of youth in the juvenile justice system have histories of mental illness and psychological distress. However, little is known about what factors mediate the relationship between early onset behavioral problems and psychological distress. The present study tested the mediating effect of parental monitoring, antisocial peers, exposure to violence, and gender on the relationship between behavioral problems and psychological distress. A secondary analysis of data from the Pathways to Desistence Study was examined using the serial mediation process proposed by Preacher and Hayes, a significant mediation of the behavior problems–psychological distress relationship was found. The results supported the mediational model in which parental monitoring impacted interaction with antisocial peers which in turn increased the level of violence exposure youth experienced ultimately leading to an increase in psychological distress.

“…Estimates reveal that approximately 50 to 75 percent of the 2 million youth encountering the juvenile justice system meet criteria for a mental health disorder [6,16,21,22,23]. Approximately 40 to 80 percent of incarcerated juveniles have at least one diagnosable mental health disorder [16,24,25,26,27]. Two-thirds of males and three-quarters of females in previous studies of juvenile offender detention facilities, were found to meet criteria for at least one mental health disorder [26,28,29,30].…”

Within the past decade, reliance on the juvenile justice system to meet the needs of juvenile offenders with mental health concerns has increased. Due to this tendency, research has been conducted on the effectiveness of various intervention and treatment programs/approaches with varied success. Recent literature suggests that because of interrelated problems involved for youth in the juvenile justice system with mental health issues, a dynamic system of care that extends beyond mere treatment within the juvenile justice system is the most promising. The authors provide a brief overview of the extent to which delinquency and mental illness co-occur; why treatment for these individuals requires a system of care; intervention models; and the juvenile justice systems role in providing mental health services to delinquent youth. Current and future advancements and implications for practitioners are provided.

“…Of these studies, one, like ours, found that on all five of the MAYSI‐2 scales rateable by boys and girls (excluding TE as it has no cut‐off), the latter had higher scores (Cauffman, ). Although Archer et al () and Gilbert et al () also reported this, it is not clear that the differences they found were statistically significant. Five (Grisso et al, ; Hayes et al, ; Cauffman et al, ; Kerig et al, ) and one unpublished doctoral thesis (Maney, ) found girls have higher scores on all scales apart from the substance (ADU) scale.…”
