Juvenile Delinquency and Disability

Abstract

(from the preface) The book provides an overview of the relationship between disability and delinquency, but more importantly it discusses the various impacts that a disability can have on offending and the processing of a youth through the juvenile justice system. It is intended for individuals who have entered or plan to enter the field of juvenile justice or who will be working with juvenile delinquents in some capacity. It will be especially useful to those who are or will be providing mental health services, special education, or vocational and rehabilitation training to these youth.
