“…Also, adolescent female offenders more often have developed mental health problems, internalizing problems and disorders in particular, such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD than their male counterparts (e.g., Adams et al, 2013;Cauffman et al, 2007;Chitsabesan et al, 2006;Van Damme et al, 2016;Wasserman et al, 2005).
