Recientemente a nivel internacional se ha incrementado el interés en la identificación de prácticas efectivas que contemplen las necesidades particulares de las niñas o jóvenes, precisamente motivado por el abuso de sustancias tóxicas y sus “altos” contactos con Justicia juvenil y de adultos. La literatura revisada revela que en general son muy escasos los programas específicos para chicas en materia de prevención de drogodependencias. Además son también pocos los que han publicado sus resultados desagregados por sexo. Por lo que la necesidad de estudio y de evaluación son tremendamente necesarios para poder dar una respuesta adecuada a sus necesidades. Por todo ello, este artículo revisa y analiza los distintos discursos entorno a los factores de éxito y riesgo al igual que los programas específicos en prevención de drogodependencias (y residenciales) con chicas o mujeres jóvenes.ABSTRACT:Recently at the international level has been increased interest in identifying effective practices that address the particular needs of girls, motivated precisely by the Substance Abuse and "high" contacts with youth and adults Justice. The literature review reveals that in general there are very few specific programs for girls in the prevention of drug addiction. In addition are also very few who have published their results disaggregated by sex. So the need for study and evaluation are extremely necessary to provide an adequate response to their needs. Therefore, this paper reviews and analyzes the different discourses around the success and risk factors as well as the specific programs in drug prevention (and residential) with girls or young women.Keywords: young offenders, preventive programs, residential drug addiction

“…This group subsequently published findings that both supported and expanded on the earlier OJJDP work on female delinquency. Using a meta-analysis of more than 2,300 articles and book chapters, Zahn, Hawkins, et al (2008) reports that some factors, such as family dynamics, level of involvement in school, neighborhood of residence, and lack of availability of community-based programs, increased the risk of delinquency for both sexes. Some additional factors had more effect on girls.…”

“…In addition, efforts toward reducing disproportionate minority contact have been increasingly visible across state jurisdictions (Redding & Morozski, 2005). Moreover, attention is being directed increasingly towards expanding community alternatives to youth incarceration, as well as responding to the unique needs of the female offender, as well as youth involved in both dependency and delinquency cases (Anderson, Clarke, & Bryer, 2008;Zahn, Hawkins, Chiancone, & Whitworth, 2008). Furthermore, federal and state organizations are increasingly supporting research efforts targeted identifying at risk and protective factors of juvenile delinquency (Merlo & Benekos, 2003).…”
