Abstract
More than 1.7 million youth are presently on the delinquency caseloads of the juvenile courts in the USA (Harms 2003). Youth who enter the juvenile justice system have been found to present with a range of problematic behaviors that require mental health intervention if they are to be ameliorated (Wasserman et al. 2004). Prevalence research suggests that the rate of mental health disorders among youth in the juvenile justice system is close to 70%, exceeding the 10–20% estimated rate for youths in the general population (Espelage et al. 2003; National Center for Mental Health and Juvenile Justice 2005). One large-scale study of 1,829 male and female juvenile detainees in Cook County, Illinois found that excluding conduct disorder, nearly 60% of male and 66% of female detainees met criteria for psychiatric disorders and had diagnostic-specific levels of impairment for one or more disorders. (Teplin et al. 2002)
