Full textAbstract:
In order to assess the prevalence of mental health and substance abuse among youth in one state’s juvenile justice facilities, a survey was conducted of 40 Tennessee facilities. A total of 1215 youth were being held on the “one day census” that was taken as part of the survey. The survey documented many mental health and substance abuse issues: 1) 53 percent of the youth in juvenile justice facilities were experiencing mental health problems; 2) 15 percent were taking some type of psychiatric medicine while in the juvenile justice facility; 3) 42 percent were known to have substance abuse problems; and 4) 30 percent had co-occurring mental health and substance use problems. Policy and program recommendations based on these findings are discussed.

Youth with disabilities are overrepresented in the juvenile justice system, but few studies have investigated the mechanisms by which this occurs. In this study, we considered how juvenile court adjudication and length of commitment in secure facilities contributed to disproportionality in court involvement and detention, addressing an important gap in the intersection of disability and juvenile justice literature. Using linked educational and juvenile justice records of 41,812 youth, we sought to ascertain whether, among juvenile offenders, youth with disabilities had higher likelihood of adjudication as delinquent or placement in secure facilities for longer periods of time compared to youth without disabilities. Results indicated that youth with and without disabilities were adjudicated and placed similarly, suggesting that disparities contributing to overrepresentation of youth with disabilities in detained populations may manifest earlier in youths’ involvement in the justice system. We conclude with implications for research, policy, and practice.

Recent national events have increased attention towards immigrant youth. Youth placed in juvenile justice facilities go through processes overseen by the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, and the Unaccompanied Children’s Program. While in placement youth are exposed to risk factors and face cultural barriers being in a new country. As publicity of the incarceration of immigrant youth increases, there is an emphatic need for researchers to examine the quality of care youth experience in placement facilities. One of the areas that has not been critically investigated is recreation programming in juvenile justice facilities. Recreation programs grounded in Positive Youth Development have proven to promote healthy development and offer immigrant youth opportunities to adapt to their new environment. Providing youth in juvenile justice facilities access to high quality recreation programming strengthens protective factors in youth to prepare them for adulthood, and reduces the likelihood of their committing an offense, thereby increasing public safety and saving taxpayer dollars. This paper is a first step to establish a clear understanding of the treatment of immigrant youth in detention. In this paper I discuss the results of a comprehensive examination of the minimum requirements for recreation programming in juvenile justice facilities. The results provide clear implications for immigrant youth as well as suggestions for further critical inquiry.

Full textAbstract:
Institutional care is an enduring component of the continuum of care in the juvenile justice system, yet youth perceptions of the placement experience are often overlooked as a source of information about this practice. Little attention is paid to how institutional placements are received by youth as opposed to how they are conceived by the justice system. This article offers an empirically based framework for assessing organizational climate in facilities housing serious young offenders based on youth self-reports. The authors provide evidence that juvenile offenders can provide reliable and internally consistent ratings regarding several dimensions of an institution’s environment, using straightforward and relatively easily administered instruments. This work lays the foundation for the development of methods for ongoing monitoring of juvenile justice facilities and the testing of whether aspects of the environments of these facilities affect the subsequent community adjustment of their residents.

Abstract Introduction Insufficient and disordered sleep are common among developing adolescents and can result in poor health and behavioral consequences. Previous studies have examined sleep and adolescent criminal behavior; however, little is known about adolescent sleep difficulties or disorders while residing in juvenile detention and treatment facilities. The current study explores psychiatric and sleep disorder diagnoses and medication use of youth under the care of the Department of Juvenile Services (DJS). Methods Participants were recruited from 11 detention and treatment facilities across Maryland. Youth (N = 67) were 13-19 years old (M = 16.8, SD = 1.2) and 84% male and 16% female. Racial Backgrounds: 55% Black, 18% White, 14% Multiracial, and 12% Other. A Healthcare staff member from each facility completed an online medical questionnaire regarding each youth’s sleep history, medical diagnoses, and current medications. Results The most common youth diagnoses were Insomnia (N = 26), ADHD (N = 26), and Anxiety (N = 12) with 72% of youth having more than one psychiatric/sleep disorder diagnosis. The most frequently used medications were melatonin (N = 23), trazodone (N = 12), and quetiapine (N=7) and 58% were on more than one sleep/psychotropic medication. Healthcare staff ordered 25 behavioral sleep studies (e.g., DJS behavioral sleep studies consists of night resident staff tracking if youth is asleep/awake while making rounds), resulting in diagnoses of insomnia (N=9) and parasomnia (N=1). Youth with sleep studies were prescribed the following medications: trazodone (N = 5), melatonin (N = 3), other (e.g., methylphenidate, clonidine, N = 11). Conclusion These preliminary findings suggest that youth are experiencing poor sleep quality while residing in juvenile justice facilities; over a third of the youth are struggling with insomnia and are prescribed Melatonin. Further data analyses will provide a better understanding of the youths’ sleep problems and the effects on their overall health and well-being.

In the United States, the mission of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention includes the development and implementation of prevention and intervention programs. While many of these initiatives include recreation, there remains no standard for recreation programs. The purpose of this study was to review the written authorities for each state to identify the minimum requirements for recreation programming in juvenile justice facilities. Among other discoveries, we found that across all states, there is not a shared definition of recreation, only 70% of states have daily mandatory minimums requirements, only 44% of states require youth be given time outside, and only 56% of states include justifications for denying youth access to recreation. Implications for professionals and researchers are discussed, as well as suggestions for further inquiry and the integration of recreation into the treatment process.

Full textAbstract:
Allocating limited mental health resources is a challenge for juvenile justice facilities. We evaluated the clinical utility of the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument, Version 2 (MAYSI-2)—an instrument designed to aid in this process—in three subsamples of justice-involved youth (ages 14-17): detained girls ( n = 69), detained boys ( n = 130), and incarcerated boys ( n = 373). For perspective, we compared its performance (in the incarcerated subsample) to that of the Youth Self-Report (YSR), a more widely-used screen. The MAYSI-2 subscales were moderately useful for detecting relevant diagnoses, and differences were observed across samples. However, as a general mental health screen, the MAYSI-2 performed well (and comparably to the YSR), correctly classifying 66% to 75% of youth. When used to differentiate youth with any and without any disorder, both instruments were effective. Given the MAYSI-2’s practical advantages over the YSR (lower cost, easier administration), it may be a better option for juvenile facilities.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction Adolescents are susceptible to sleep loss due to biological and environmental factors such as delayed circadian timing and schedule demands. Few studies have examined sleep-wake patterns for adolescents residing in juvenile justice facilities. The current study assessed youth’s self-reported sleep-wake schedules, sleep environment perceptions, and sleep quality. Methods Participants were recruited from 11 juvenile services detention and treatment facilities in Maryland. For seven consecutive mornings, youth completed a sleep-wake diary reporting their bed/wake times, sleep onset, and type of (nocturnal) light exposure. Youth wore digital wristwatches to accurately depict their sleep-wake schedules. Sleep quality and wake difficulty were rated on a scale from 1-10 (1=very poor/easy to 10=very good/hard, respectively). Results Participants (N= 64) were 13-19 years old (M= 16.7, SD= 1.3 years) and 85.9% male. Racial backgrounds: 61% Black, 18% White, 8% Multiracial, and 13% Other. Youth-reported bedtimes (M= 21:04, SD= :50) were about 50 minutes earlier than their sleep onset times (M= 21:52, SD= 1:02) while wake times (M= 6:41, SD= :46) were about 20 minutes earlier than the time youth reported leaving their bed (M= 7:00, SD= :44). Youth disclosed waking up throughout the night (M= 1.7, SD= 9) for an average 16.8 minutes (SD= 14.9). Multiple diary-responses (58%) noted “partial or overhead” lights were on in youth’s sleeping areas; 23.4% wrote in “other” types of light sources, most of which were blue lights (63%). Average sleep quality (M= 5.7, SD= 2.1) and difficulty waking up ratings (M= 5.4, SD= 2.2) indicate mediocre sleep. Conclusion Findings summarize youth’s sleep-wake experience while residing in a juvenile justice facility. Reported bedtimes are earlier than sleep onset times which increases the likelihood for conditioned insomnia. Circadian dysregulation of sleep behavior can develop from frequent night awakenings and light exposure, particularly, blue light. Ultimately, these findings will help develop facility-wide interventions, improving the youth’s sleep-wake schedules and other environmental influences.

Full textAbstract:
Research suggests that youth involved the juvenile justice system have trauma histories that are two times higher than the general youth population. Juvenile justice-involved youth also have high rates of mental health symptoms. Fewer studies have examined how trauma links to mental health symptoms among youth offenders, and even less research focuses on how mental health status and service delivery can impact their perceived likelihood for success. This study examines the effects of mental health screening and service delivery on perceived future criminal justice interactions— arrest and incarceration—among adjudicated youth (n=7,073) housed in correctional facilities. Secondary data were used to examine trauma histories, mental health needs, and mental health screening and service delivery. Significant relationships between traumatic events and mental health problems were found, along with relationships between mental health problems and mental health screening and service delivery. Most interestingly, results pointed to the strong inverse relationship between mental health service delivery and youth’s perceived likelihood for recidivism. These findings show the promise of juvenile justice systems appropriately responding to the mental health concerns of youth.

Full textAbstract:
We describe a multiyear pilot dissemination of a trauma-focused group treatment, Trauma and Grief Component Therapy for Adolescents, coupled with a trauma-informed staff training, Think Trauma, to six residential juvenile justice (JJ) facilities. All staff members were trained in Think Trauma. Seventy-seven youth from four facilities completed the treatment groups and 69 completed all pre- and postgroup assessment measures. The aims of this study were to determine whether trauma-focused interventions (a) could be implemented in complex JJ systems, (b) would be associated with a decrease in posttraumatic symptoms and reactions in youth, and (c) might contribute to reduced Incident Reports in facilities. A related question was whether we would receive feedback that youth who participated in the trauma and/or grief narrative components of the intervention were adversely affected. Pre- and postgroup assessments indicated significant reductions in symptoms of posttraumatic stress, depression, and anger, but not in anxiety or sexual concerns. There were significantly greater reductions in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among incarcerated youth who completed all modules of the group treatment intervention relative to incarcerated youth who received an abbreviated version. Two of the facilities tracked their Incident Reports and reported reductions. No Incident Reports or therapist feedback documented that the trauma/grief processing components of the intervention were destabilizing to the youth.

Full textAbstract:
Au moyen d’une enquête ethnographique en établissement fermé pour mineurs, ce travail propose une analyse d’une forme de traitement institutionnel des illégalismes au prisme des expériences institutionnelles des acteurs. La recherche se focalise notamment sur la relation entre intervenants socio-éducatifs et mineurs, en tant qu’expérience commune dans le cadre de pratiques professionnelles et d’un espace contraint. Ce travail s’appuie sur trois ans d’enquête menée dans un Centre éducatif fermé (CEF) et un Établissement pénitentiaire pour mineurs (EPM). La consultation de documentation, la poursuite d’une série d’observations et d’entretiens individuels constituent les principales sources de données empiriques. L’analyse sociologique révèle les tensions entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur des établissements, au sens physique comme symbolique, qui président aux vécus des acteurs du milieu fermé. Les établissements fermés pour mineur jouent un rôle de coercition tout autant qu’ils poursuivent un objectif éducatif et pédagogique. Ce dernier principe est appliqué afin de réduire la contrainte et impliquer les mineurs dans leur détention et leur parcours judiciaire. À cette fin, le maintien du lien à l’extérieur, l'individualisation de l’accompagnement, l'autonomie et la responsabilisation des mineurs sont au centre des interventions. Néanmoins, les résultats de l’enquête montrent que ce processus ne réduit guère la coercition. Il peut même créer une forme de contrôle opérant également extra-muros ; sur les esprits, les biographies, et l’environnement des mineursBased on an ethnographic survey in Custodial Institutions for Juveniles, this thesis aims to analyze a form of treatment of illegalisms through the scope of institutional experiences. Among other perspectives, the research focuses on the relationship between socio educational actors and juveniles, as a common experience in the context of professional practices and constrained environments. This work is based on a three years’ research achieved in a Custodial Education Facility (CEF) and in a Young Offender Institution (EPM). A review of official documents, observations and individual interviews are the main empirical sources. The sociological analysis reveals the tensions between the inside and outside, both in physical and symbolic sense, which influence the experience of actors. The institutions play a coercive role as much as they pursue an educational and pedagogical objective. This last principle is applied in order to ease coercion and to involve minors in their detention and their judicial process. To that end, the preservation of outward connections, the individualization of social care and the autonomy and empowerment of minors are at the center of interventions. However, results of the survey show how this process is scarcely reducing coercion. It may even create a form of control that also operates extramurally over minds, biographies, and juveniles’ environment

In the recent years, the changes of socioeconomic environment have caused the increase in broken families and helpless children and youth who require interference of governmental authority. Our government has provided assistance under relative regulations to protect their personal safety, and supportive, complimentary, and developmental services. This study aimed to investigate how relative projects and philosophy concepts should be designed by facilities by adopting restorative justice to enable youths residing in delinquent facilities to reduce illegal or criminal practices through relation repair, and so verify that it is practical for management of relative events. This paper adopted research methods such as literature analysis and participant observation. In the sections of literature analysis methods, the researcher analyzed relative theories and empirical studies of restorative justice. In addition, the research also explored the relation between Christianity and restorative justice. In the sections of participant observation, the researcher conducted a field research on three residential facilities for delinquent youths and research of hypotheses that: (1) restorative justice is applicable for residential facilities for delinquent youths; (2) restorative justice enhances efficiency of residential facilities for delinquent youths; and (3) the staff of residential facilities for delinquent youths help youths to return families, schools, communities, and the society by assisting them in recovering from the conflict incidents and family traumas through restorative justice. The researcher designed eight dimensions for participant observation for this study, and then proceeded to cross-comparison between dimensional relation of the restorative justice and efficiency of the facilities. The results are: (1) In observation of the three facilities, each had more or less applied it to their projects or instructions, which varied to each other to some extent. Although sample size of observation was not large, they seemed applicable in the residential facilities for delinquent youths. Another major factor that it was not extensively employed was that the government did not successfully promote and execute this affair. (2) In analyzing the correlation and efficiency of each facility in applying restorative justice through each dimension of participant observation, it was found that the closer relation with the restorative justice the facilities had the more efficiency they performed. (3) Belief varied from the restorative justice, but they could consolidate. (4) Regarding roles assignment, the attenders of the facilities played the roles as offenders, the individuals and various social institutions took the victims, and the facilities took the communities. (5) Although cases of judicial diversion and protection were different, there may be causality between both the offenders and victims. Suggestions: (1) The necessity of promotion restorative justice exists. (2) Observation dimensions could become reference tools for relative researches in the future. (3) Belief of religion and restorative justice have same spirit and philosophy, it is recommended that they could combine. However, differences between them should be monitored.

Dissertação de mestrado em Psicologia Clínica e Saúde (Psicologia Forense), apresentada à Faculdade de Psicologia e de Ciências da Educação da Universidade de CoimbraConsiderando a elevada prevalência de problemas de saúde mental em Centros Educativos, incluindo distúrbios de ansiedade, nomeadamente PSPT, torna-se importante continuar o trabalho de validação de instrumentos, como o MAYSI-2 no sistema de justiça juvenil português, que incluiu entre outras a dimensão Experiências Traumáticas. O processo de validação deverá incluir não apenas entre jovens ofensores institucionalizados, mas também na em jovens da comunidade. O presente estudo tem como objectivo prosseguir a validação da versão Portuguesa do Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument-2 (MAYSI-2) em jovens detidos em estabelecimentos de segurança (Centros Educativos) e em jovens da população geral. A ênfase na validação da escala Experiências Traumáticas do MAYSI-2 impõe o exercício da adaptação e validação Portuguesa da Posttraumatic Stress Checklist – Civilian Version (Modified Version) (PCL-C:M). Neste contexto, o processo de validação do MAYSI-2 conta ainda com o recurso ao Youth Self Report (YSR) e à Social Desirability Scale of Coimbra (EDSC). Este estudo inclui um grupo de 105 jovens rapazes e raparigas pertencentes à amostra de controlo e 29 rapazes que se encontram em Centros Educativos. O presente estudo demonstrou bons resultados ao nível da consistência interna tanto para o MAYSI-2 como para a PCL-C:M. As escalas: Raiva-Irritação, Depressão/Ansiedade, Queixas Somáticas e Perturbação do Pensamento do MAYSI-2 são as que merecem maior atenção dada a elevada taxa de prevalência em ambas as amostras testadas. Tendo como referência o ponto de corte 82 para jovens que preencham critérios de diagnóstico para a PSPT, os grupos com resultados mais elevados foram as raparigas e nos jovens com idades compreendidas entre os 14 e os 17 anos, independentemente da amostra. Os resultados nas dimensões Ideação Suicida, Perturbação do Pensamento e Experiências Traumáticas do MAYSI-2 tendem a aumentar com a idade. As escalas Perturbação do Pensamento e Experiências Traumáticas do MAYSI-2 estão associados a resultados mais elevados na amostra forense. Por outro lado, os indivíduos com idades compreendidas entre os 14 e os 17 parecem obter resultados mais elevados nas dimensões Abuso de Substâncias, Raiva-Irritação e Experiências Traumáticas. Os resultados no MAYSI-2 e na PCL-C:M indicam que estes são instrumentos promissores e válidos. O MAYSI-2 evidenciou ser uma ferramenta de rastreio válida tanto para uso forense como na comunidade. A PCL-C:M parece ser uma boa prova de rastreio de PSPT quando administrada em jovens. Esta pesquisa mostrou, também, bons resultados no que concerne à consistência interna do MAYSI-2 tanto na amostra forense (α =.93, p <.01) como na amostra de controlo (α =.88, p <.01). Existem correlações positivas e significativas entre as dimensões do YSR e do MAYSI-2, principalmente entre as escalas Raiva-Irritação, Queixas Somáticas e Perturbação do Pensamento (MAYSI-2) e Perturbação do Pensamento (YSR); Depressão/Ansiedade, Ideação Suicida, Perturbação do Pensamento (MAYSI-2) e Ansiedade/Depressão (YSR). A correlação entre Experiências Traumáticas (MAYSI-2) e PCL-C:M e PCL-C são menores que .55, sendo portanto “inadequada”.
Considering the high prevalence of mental health, including anxiety disorders, and PTSD, in Youth Detention Centers, became important to continue the validation of tools like MAYSI-2 in juvenile justice system, such instrument includes also a Traumatic Experience scale. .. The process of validation should include not only young offenders, but also youths form the community. This study aims to continue the validity of Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument-2 in Portugal for young people admitted in secure establishments and those from general population. The emphasis on the validation of the Traumatic Experiences Scale enhance the need of adaptation and validation of Posttraumatic Stress Checklist – Civilian Version (Modified Version) (PCL-C:M). At the moment, the validation process of MAYSI-2 includes also the Youth Self Report (YSR) and Social Desirability Scale of Coimbra (EDSC). The current sample includes 105 male and female youth from general population and 29 male from detention facilities. The present study showed good results for internal consistency both for MAYSI-2 and PCL-C:M. Angry-Irritable, Depression-Anxiety, Somatic Complaints and Thought Disturbance dimensions are those which deserves more concerning given the higher percentages in both community and forensic samples. Admitting a cutoff of 82 in PCL-C:M to those youths who might find criteria to PTSD the age group which results showed to be higher were the female group and those aged 14 and 17, irrespective of the sample. The scores on Suicide Ideation, Thought Disturbance and Traumatic Experiences dimensions trend to increase with age. Thought Disturbance and Traumatic Experiences tends to increase in the forensic sample. As escalas Perturbação do Pensamento e Experiências Traumáticas do MAYSI-2 estão associados a resultados mais elevados na amostra forense. On the other hand, there are widely high frequency in 14-17 aged participants in relation to Alcohol/Drug Use, Angry-Irritable and Traumatic Experiences scales. Either MAYSI-2 as PCL-C:M showed to be promising and reliable measures. MAYSI-2 demonstrated to be a valid instrument as an intake screening to be used in detention facilities and in the community. PCL-C:M, seems to be a good screening PTSD measure in young people. This research showed, also, good results for MAYSI-2 internal consistency in the detention facilities (α =.93; p<.01) and in community sample (α =.88; p<.01). There are significant positive correlations between YSR and MAYSI-2 scales, especially between: Angry-Irritable, Somatic Complaints and Thought Disturbance (MAYSI-2) and Thought Problems (YSR); Depression/Anxiety, Suicide Ideation, Thought Disturbance (MAYSI-2 TE) and Anxious/Depressed (YSR). The correlation between Traumatic Experience scale (MAYSI-2) and PCL-C:M and PCL-C are less than .55, and therefore "inadequate".

Currently, all states allow juveniles who commit certain offenses to be waived from jurisdiction of the juvenile court to be tried and sentenced in adult criminal court. This essay reviews approaches for housing juvenile offenders in adult correctional facilities (i.e., straight adult incarceration, graduated incarceration, and segregated incarceration) and the special considerations for prison management and service delivery. The essay begins with a summary of the history of juvenile justice, focusing primarily on transfer to adult court and subsequent adult incarceration. Next, a description of the number of youths facing adult punishment is provided. The experiences of youths inside adult incarceration facilities and the effects of transfer to adult court on postrelease recidivism are discussed, followed by a review of individual states’ approaches to housing youths in adult prisons.

Full textAbstract:
A pressing issue for the child welfare and juvenile justice systems is the treatment of LGBTQ youth—especially transgender youth—in facilities and under the care of the state. Unfortunately, these youth often do not receive affirming, effective care, nor responsible and suitable placements. This chapter explores the facets of this issue by focusing on the case study of Jane Doe, a 16-year-old Latinx trans teen in Connecticut whose plight caught the eye of activists and the media when her story was revealed. The authors complement their analysis of the case study with relevant empirical data about LGBTQ youths’ experiences in families, schools, communities, the child welfare system, and the juvenile justice system. Doing so allows us to paint a portrait of the structural issues that are at play in instances of serious system failure, as with Jane Doe. The chapter concludes with multiple policy recommendations.

Full textAbstract:
Justice-involved adolescents face significant roadblocks in the transition to adulthood when they navigate this period while simultaneously re-entering the community after a period of confinement. This study investigates how confinement disrupts psychosocial development across the transition to adulthood using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to compare psychological well-being and psychosocial development for youth confined before age 18, those arrested before age 18 but not confined, and those with no criminal justice involvement in adolescence. Findings show significantly lower levels of psychological well-being for confined youth compared to all other youth. Females who were confined during adolescence were especially low levels of psychological well-being in young adulthood. Subsequently, confined youth have lower levels of educational and employment attainment in young adulthood. Results suggest the need for juvenile facilities to incorporate programming that builds psychosocial skills and well-being.

The conclusion revisits the major themes of book. It also highlights the larger implications of these findings for young people in the United States. New partnerships between education and penal facilities and wraparound services as a whole do not help young people stay away from the criminal justice system. Despite the positive intentions of these new services, law enforcement and education administrators inadvertently undermine their goal of helping youth by exposing them to further criminalization. Instead these new services break down social bonds between adults, institutional actors, and other young people that would help the girls in my study begin a more positive life-course. This is reflected in their failed attempts to finish probation, return to traditional school and leave the criminal justice system altogether. I revisit this clear disconnect between the well-intentioned goals of education and corrections administrators with negative outcomes young women must negotiate as they try, and often fail, to stay out of secure detention. I also remind the reader how this process has a set of challenges that are unique to Latinas’ intersecting identities.
