Need for and Barriers to Inclusion in Health Research of Justice-Involved Youth

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Juvenile Forensic Psychology and Psychiatry

Abstract

Recent estimates suggest that there are approximately 1.7 million referrals handled by juvenile courts nationally in 2007. Although some 78% of juvenile cases did not result in detention, the remaining numbers did remain substantial (Knoll and Sickmund 2010). In many jurisdictions youth are placed in custody when, as per a judge’s decision, there are no other alternative solutions in the family or community that can meet the needs of the youth, safeguarding their own welfare and reducing re-offending (Clough et al. 2008).
