“…First, the rate of mental health problems in youth arrested may be as high as in Table 2 Mental health screening, positive mental health screening rates, STI screening, and positive STI screening rates pre-and postimplementation of detention diversion for juveniles detained Ն 5 days (N ϭ 883 youth before diversion, N ϭ 746 youth after diversion) detained youth, a finding supported by previous research. Investigators explored the mental health diagnoses of arrested youth at probation intake [23,24] and found that 45% of male and 50% of female arrestees in Texas [25], and 27% and 39%, respectively, in Florida, met criteria for a mental illness diagnosis [24]. Hence, our finding supports previous research evidence that, although at rates still lower than among detained youth, arrested youth have significant psychopathology.…”

“…However, no research has yet been carried out to investigate these relationships among adolescent offenders, in whom rates of mental disorders are strikingly high (Abram et al, 2007;Teplin et al, 2006;Wasserman et al, 2004). If shame is associated with psychopathology among young offenders, it could represent an important treatment target.…”

Remorse has long been important to the juvenile justice system. However, the nature of this construct has not yet been clearly articulated, and little research has examined its relationships with other theoretically and legally relevant variables. The present study was intended to address these issues by examining relationships among remorse, psychopathology, and psychopathy in a sample of adolescent offenders (N = 97) using the theoretically and empirically established framework of guilt and shame (Tangney & Dearing, 2002). Findings indicated that shame was positively related to behavioural features of psychopathy, whereas guilt was negatively related to psychopathic characteristics more broadly. In addition, shame was positively associated with numerous mental health problems whereas guilt was negatively associated with anger, depression, and anxiety. These results provide empirical support for theory that psychopathy is characterized by lack of remorse (e.g., Hare, 1991), and also underscore shame and guilt as potentially important treatment targets for adolescent offenders.

“…Significant advances in this area have been made and include increased recognition of disorder prevalence (Teplin et al, 2002;Wasserman et al, 2002), validation of screening instruments specific to juvenile justice populations (Grisso & Barnum, 2003;Wasserman et al, 2004;Grisso, Vincent, & Seagrave, 2005) and promulgation of practice standards (Wasserman et al, 2003). However, much of the field's current knowledge is based on the understanding of male delinquents.…”

Mental Health Screening of Female Juvenile Offenders: Replication of a Subtyping Strategy

Recent research indicates that adjudicated female youth have higher rates of mental health problems and histories of trauma exposure and abuse relative to adjudicated male youth. These differences are important for gender-specific assessment, intervention, and management strategies. We replicated a subtyping strategy for adjudicated female youth based on mental health screening data from the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument-2 (MAYSI-2) by investigating subtype differences on trauma symptoms, abuse history, and other background variables. Cluster analysis of the standard MAYSI-2 scales revealed a three cluster solution replicating results from a prior study.
