This study aims to examine current research about trauma-exposed, justice-involved (TEJI) female youth, and evaluate the current literature regarding the effectiveness of gender-specific interventions aimed at reducing their recidivism. Preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) methodology was utilized to examine quantitative and qualitative literature, published from 2000 through March 2020, about interventions for female justice-involved youth with trauma exposure. Analysis of selected studies utilized an integrated framework based on Andrew’s Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model and Lipsey’s factors of effectiveness, which reviewed studies showing the relationship between female justice-involved youth with mental health symptomologies and trauma. The findings show that effective intervention for this population targets the youth’s negative internal mechanisms related to trauma-subsequent psychosocial problems. These studies suggest that trauma-sensitive modalities have the potential to mitigate the further risk of problematic external behaviors. All studies had limited sample sizes, low follow-up rates, and unknown long-term outcomes. Future research should explore dimensions of sustainability and achieving stability in relation to intervention setting. Selecting the proper venue and facilitator for quality implementation and stability of setting is critical in delivering effective therapies. Modifications in public expectations of juvenile justice policy and practice, from disciplinary to therapeutic approaches, is needed.

“…Matthews and Hubbard [21] subsequently offered a thoughtful review of how the available evidence regarding "what works" might inform intervention programs for JJ-involved girls, arguing for the incorporation of five "essential points:" utilizing assessment instruments that are calibrated to measure the specific needs of delinquent girls, building a helping alliance, modifying the process and content of interventions to take into account girls' relational and cognitive strengths and vulnerabilities, promoting healthy connections and recognizing the various sources of heterogeneity amongst girls.…”

Engendering the Evidence Base: A Critical Review of the Conceptual and Empirical Foundations of Gender-Responsive Interventions for Girls’ Delinquency

A dramatic rise in arrest rates for girls over the past decade has led to an increasing interest in understanding gender differences in the risk factors that are associated with delinquency. Moreover, the call has been made for the implementation of gender-specific or gender-responsive interventions in order to effectively divert girls from an antisocial course. However, questions have been raised about three key assumptions underlying the gender-responsive approach to girls involved in the juvenile justice system: is there unequivocal evidence for gender-specificity in the risk factors that contribute to girls’ delinquency; is there clear evidence that existing non-gender-responsive evidence-based interventions for delinquency are less effective for girls than boys; and is there well-grounded evidence that interventions specifically tailored for girls are differentially effective? This article reviews the available research regarding each of these questions and proposes an agenda for future research into the development of effective interventions for juvenile justice-involved girls

“…Notably, there is a growing body of research on the predictive validity of the YLS measures among various youth offender populations. The YLS measures have been validated on male and female youth in both community and institutional settings, as well as among various races, ethnicities and indigenous populations (Andrews & Bonta, 2010 ; Brumbaugh, Hardison Walters, & Winterfield, 2009 ; Jung & Rawana, 1999 ; Matthews & Hubbard, 2008 ; Schwalbe, 2008 ). To date, most findings have consistently shown that the YLS measures are robust risk assessment instruments in predicting various outcomes including rearrests, as well as general and violent recidivism (Catchpole & Gretton, 2003 ; Flores, Travis, & Latessa, 2004 ; Hoge & Andrews, 2006 ; Jung & Rawana, 1999 ; Upperton & Thompson, 2007 ; Welsh, Schmidt, McKinnon, Chattha, & Meyers, 2008 ).…”

The Risk–Need–Responsivity (RNR) framework is regarded as the forefront of offender rehabilitation in guiding youth offender risk assessment and interventions. This article discusses the juvenile justice system in Singapore and the local research that has been conducted in relation to the RNR framework and the associated Youth Level of Service (YLS) measures. It describes a journey that saw the implementation of the RNR framework across the juvenile justice agencies and highlights the challenges that were faced during the implementation process on the ground. Finally, the article concludes by providing future directions for the implementation of the RNR framework in Singapore.
