“…Indeed, sleep disturbance is a common sequela of community violence and other traumatic exposure, with both traumatic nightmares and general sleep disturbance identified as symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (American Psychiatric Association 2013; Charuvastra and Cloitre 2009). Moreover, just as sleep problems may be implicated in the developmental psychopathology of delinquency, there is increasing evidence that trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress symptoms are also associated with juvenile delinquency (Becker and Kerig 2011;Moore et al 2013). Multiple mechanisms are likely implicated in the association between violence exposure (either in the home or in the community) and adolescent delinquency Becker 2010, 2015), but studies have yet to separate out sleep disturbances from other symptoms of PTSD when examining the link between trauma/PTSD and delinquency or other antisocial behaviors.…”

Sleep problems in adolescence have been identified as an international public health issue. Over the past few decades, notable advances have been made in our understanding of the patterns and consequences of sleep in adolescence. Despite these important gains, there is much about the role of sleep in adolescence that remains to be understood. This Special Issue brings together studies that examine sleep as it specifically pertains to adolescent development and adjustment. In this introductory article, we argue for the importance of grounding the study of sleep and adolescence in developmental science and a developmental psychopathology framework. First, a review of the literature is used to outline a biopsychosocial and contextual model of sleep in adolescence. Second, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is used as an exemplar of the proposed model given the pervasiveness of sleep problems among youth with ADHD and the likelihood that sleep problems and ADHD symptoms are interconnected in complex ways. Finally, a brief introduction to the empirical articles included in the Special Issue is provided, with particular attention given to how these articles fit within the proposed biopsychosocial and contextual model. Along with the framework proposed in this article, the studies included in this Special Issue advance the current literature and point to critical directions for future research.

“…Numerous studies of youths in the JJ system indicate that adolescent female offenders are more likely than their male counterparts to have been victims of sexual and/or physical abuse (e.g., Cauffman, Feldman, Waterman, & Steiner, 1998; Moore, Gaskin, & Indig, 2013; Zahn et al, 2010). Moreover, among adjudicated girls and girls at risk for adjudication, those with a history of sexual abuse tend to have more extreme delinquency outcomes than those without a history of sexual abuse (Goodkind, Ng, & Sarri, 2006; Wareham & Dembo, 2007).…”

The proportion of the juvenile justice population that is comprised of females is increasing, yet few evidence-based models have been evaluated and implemented with girls in the juvenile justice system. Although much is known about the risk and protective factors for girls who participate in serious delinquency, significant gaps in the research base hamper the development and implementation of theoretically based intervention approaches. In this review, we first summarize the extant empirical work about the predictors and sequelae of juvenile justice involvement for girls. Identified risk and protective factors that correspond to girls’ involvement in the juvenile justice system have been shown to largely parallel those of boys, although exposure rates and magnitudes of association sometimes differ by sex. Second, we summarize findings from empirically validated, evidence-based interventions for juvenile justice–involved youths that have been tested with girls. The interventions include Functional Family Therapy, Multisystemic Therapy, Multidimensional Family Therapy, and Treatment Foster Care Oregon (formerly known as Multidimensional Treatment Foster Care). We conclude that existing evidence-based practices appear to be effective for girls. However, few studies have been sufficiently designed to permit conclusions about whether sex-specific interventions would yield any better outcomes for girls than would interventions that already exist for both sexes and that have a strong base of evidence to support them. Third, we propose recommendations for feasible, cost-efficient next steps to advance the research and intervention agendas for this under-researched, under-served population of highly vulnerable youths.

“…Offender populations have a high prevalence of trauma (research suggests between 60% and 92%: Moore, Gaskin & Indig, 2013;Abram et al, 2013). In studies of antisocial youth, self-reported trauma ranges from 70% to 92% (McMackin, Morrissey, Newman, Erwin, & Daley, 1998;Rivera & Widom, 1990;Steiner, Garcia, & Matthews, 1997); with indications that 24% to 65% have PTSD (Burton, Foy, Bwanausi, Johnson, & Moore, 1994;Cauffman, Feldman, Waterman, & Steiner, 1998;McMackin et al, 1998;Steiner et al, 1997;Wood, Foy, Layne et al, 2002).…”

Purpose -This study aims to explore the impact of coping style, self-efficacy, resilience and emotional reaction of trauma related intrusions in young offenders.Design/methodology -This is a quantitative study using questionnaires. The sample was 152 young offenders in custody who were approached in their residential hall. Upon agreeing to participate they were given 24 hours to complete the questionnaire pack and returned these to the researcher at a designated time and place.Findings -Over 90% of the sample indicated at least one traumatic event; 33.6% indicated 8 or more. Number of traumatic events did not impact on self-efficacy, resilience or coping strategy used. The type of coping strategy did not significantly impact on emotional reaction to intrusions across trauma groups. Participants with higher self-efficacy demonstrated greater problem-focused coping and less emotional reaction to intrusions. Participants with greater resilience scores utilised more problem and emotion-focused coping and experienced less emotional reaction to their intrusions. Resilience was predicted by self-efficacy and emotional reaction to intrusions. Practical implications -Professionals working with young offenders with trauma relatedintrusions should focus on building strengths in the areas of problem-focused coping, selfefficacy and resilience.Originality/value -This paper adds to the literature on trauma in male young offenders by looking at psychological factors which could be developed upon to improve ability to manage intrusive thoughts.
