Dealing with Double Jeopardy: Mental Health Disorders Among Girls in the Juvenile Justice System

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Delinquent Girls

Abstract

Youth within the juvenile justice system consistently show higher rates of mental health disorders when compared to normative populations (Otto et al. 1992; Vermeiren 2003). According to one of the most comprehensive epidemiological studies of detained adolescents (Males = 1,172; Females = 657), as many as two-thirds of males and three-quarters of females meet criteria for one or more psychiatric disorders (Teplin et al. 2002). Although prevalence rates of mental health disorders tend to vary across samples, they remain consistently high in juvenile justice populations, ranging from 50–100% (Dixon et al. 2004; Lederman et al. 2004; Teplin et al. 2002), and stand in stark contrast to the significantly lower prevalence rates of psychopathology among normative populations of adolescents (15%: Roberts et al. 1998).

Notes

  1. 1.

    CD Symptoms were assessed in adolescence by scoring the 15 symptoms of CD listed in DSM-IV as present or absent during the past 6 months based on self-reported items from the following measures: the DICA, the Self-Report of Offending Scale (Elliott and Huizinga 1989) (α  =  .83), the Conflict Tactics Scale (Straus 1979) (α  =  .85 across all perpetration subscales), Little’s Aggression Inventory (Little et al. 2003) (α  =  .93), and the Youth Self-Report (Achenbach 1991) (α  =  .93 for externalizing scale).
