“…Instead, participants experience the forest through meditation, physical activity, mental and physical relaxation, and ecological education. This mental health service provided to adolescents has a significant impact on delinquency behaviors and reducing recidivism [71,72]. Thus, adolescents with weak social ties and low empathy can experience changes as these programs reduce aggression and encourage group cooperation.…”

The study aimed to investigate the psychological and physiological effects of forest therapy programs on adolescents under probation. Fifty probationary teenagers from the Ministry of Gyeonggi Justice Compliance Support Center participated in the study. The study explored the effectiveness of a nonrandomized control group pretest–posttest design forest therapy program. The forest therapy program was conducted for two days and one night for the experimental groups (N = 33), who participated in the forest therapy program, and the control group (N = 17), who received two days of attendance center orders program in the lecture room of the Ministry of Gyeonggi Justice Compliance Support Center. As a result, adolescents under probation who participated in forest therapy programs had a beneficial effect on psychological well-being (K-WBMMS) and HRV’s HF (high frequency) and LF/HF (A ratio of Low Frequency to High Frequency) compared to those who received the general attendance center orders program. These results support that forest therapy programs play a positive role in the psychological and physiological effects of probationary adolescents and can affect the diversity of rehabilitation programs for probationary adolescents.

“…In-home dispositions allow youth access to community-based treatments while remaining in their home and are less likely to inhibit autonomy and psychosocial development (Dmitrieva, Monahan, Cauffman, & Steinberg, 2012;Ryon, Early, Hand, & Chapman, 2013). Yoder et al (2017) found that receiving a mental health screening was associated with a reduced likelihood of future arrest and incarceration. However, studies indicate justice involved youth are not accessing mental health services when juvenile justice practitioners identified a possible mental health need.…”

Youth Violence and Juvenile Justice

This study examined the influence of gender, participation in public mental health services, perceived mental health need, and traumatic experiences on juvenile justice system processing. Data were collected on youth formally processed for delinquency or status offenses by a large statewide juvenile justice system and youth served by the state’s public mental health system during a 7-year period ( n = 271,427). The results indicated that accessing mental health services in the community or being viewed as having a mental health need by a juvenile probation officer increased the likelihood of youth being removed from their home by the juvenile justice system, especially for girls. While girls generally had decreased odds of out-of-home placement compared to boys, their odds significantly increased when combined with involvement in public mental health services and/or receiving a violation of probation. Once placed out of the home, boys discharged much more quickly than girls, with the rate of discharge being related primarily to the severity of their offenses. When controlling for relevant variables using propensity score matching, girls who experienced trauma or involvement with the public mental health system had a significantly lower rate of discharge from out-of-home placement than similarly matched boys.

“…The juvenile legal system has a responsibility to ensure it treats the youth who are in its care, but this cannot be a siloed effort within the legal system (Grisso 2008). Youth prisons are inadequate at providing mental health services to youth who are detained (Yoder et al 2017). Staff in youth prisons also do not have the specialized skills to comprehensively treat youth (Yoder et al 2017).…”

“…Youth prisons are inadequate at providing mental health services to youth who are detained (Yoder et al 2017). Staff in youth prisons also do not have the specialized skills to comprehensively treat youth (Yoder et al 2017). The danger of not properly treating a youth's mental illness while they are system-involved means that, upon release, they may still be susceptible to committing crimes (Skeem et al 2014).…”

Achieving Juvenile Justice through Abolition: A Critical Review of Social Work’s Role in Shaping the Juvenile Legal System and Steps toward Achieving an Antiracist Future

et al. 2021

The first juvenile court was created in 1899 with the help of social workers who conceptualized their actions as progressive. Youth were deemed inculpable for certain actions since, cognitively, their brains were not as developed as those of adults. Thus, separate measures were created to rehabilitate youth who exhibited delinquent and deviant behavior. Over one hundred years later, we have a system that disproportionately arrests, confines, and displaces Black youth. This paper critiques social work’s role in helping develop the first juvenile courts, while highlighting the failures of the current juvenile legal system. We then use P.I.C. abolition as a theoretical framework to offer guidance on how social work can once again assist in the transformation of the juvenile legal system as a means toward achieving true justice.
