“…Girls tended to have more frequent symptoms than boys, however, especially for reexperiencing and hyperarousal (Brosky and Lally 2004). Among two large samples of adolescent female juvenile offenders, 33-37% had PTSD and 55-77% of these cases were precipitated by sexual abuse (Ariga et al 2008;Dixon et al 2005). Among incarcerated youth, nearly all of whom were exposed to a violent act, 28% of boys and 52% of girls met criteria for PTSD (Wood et al 2002).…”

“…Many symptoms related to PTSD in maltreated youth mimic these disorders-such as impulsivity, labile mood, dysphoria, social withdrawal, difficulty concentrating, restlessness, and irritability-which can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate interventions. The presence of trauma symptoms can complicate treatment for other problems as well (Ariga et al 2008;Dixon et al 2005;Ford et al 2000;Schumacher et al 2006;Stevens et al 2003;Titus et al 2003;Weinstein et al 2000).…”

Youths who have been maltreated often experience symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and this special population has received increased attention from researchers. Pathways toward maladaptive effects of maltreatment and PTSD are remarkably similar and reflect specific biological diatheses and psychological vulnerabilities that produce wide-ranging self-regulation deficits. Developmental models of effects of maltreatment and of PTSD are thus increasingly intertwined and have begun to inform specialized assessment and treatment strategies for this population. This review covers key aspects of posttraumatic stress disorder in maltreated youth, including epidemiology, symptomatology, outcome, and risk factors as well as assessment and treatment strategies and challenges for these youths.

“…To illustrate, samples of justice involved youth across diverse settings have revealed that 33% of Japanese female juvenile offenders (Ariga et al 2008), 27% of Swiss male juvenile offenders (Urbaniok et al 2007), and 10-19% of detained youth in the United States (Abram et al 2004;Cauffman et al 1998;Ford et al 2008;Steiner et al 1997) meet criteria for PTSD. By comparison, in the United States (Copeland et al 2007;Mongillo et al 2009), PTSD is rare among young (ages 0-4) children (0.6% prevalence) and school-age children (1% prevalence), but more common among adolescents (5% prevalence) (Kilpatrick et al 2003).…”

This special issue of Child and Youth Care Forum includes four original research reports that build on the field's knowledge of trauma stress exposure and PTSD in justice-involved youth. Utilizing diverse methodologies, study authors report unique results investigating important questions related to screening and assessment of justiceinvolved populations, the potential linkage between violence exposure and violence perpetration, and the complex relationships between trauma exposure in childhood and specific problematic offending behaviors. Each article includes specific clinical implications and recommendations for future research to provide useful information to juvenile justice administrators, mental health professionals, and researchers involved in the care and management of trauma exposed youth within the juvenile justice system. This introduction provides an overview of how empirical studies of the nature and sequelae of traumatic stress exposure are currently a focus for research and services in the juvenile justice field, highlighting how the articles in the Special Issue exemplify the progress to date, and promise for the future, of several lines of research involving psychometrics, health and correctional services, and clinical epidemiology.It is well established that exposure to traumatic stressors places children and youth at risk for a range of serious internalizing (e.g., posttraumatic stress, anxiety, depression, somatic complaints) and externalizing (anger, aggression, oppositional-defiant, conduct disorder, substance abuse) problems (Copeland et al. 2007;Fairbank et al. 2007). We also know that exposure to traumatic stressors often is cumulative, involving repeated episodes over

“…Perusing this issue, may reveal that as a parent walks into prison, their children simultaneously walk into a revolving door of multiple dilemmas linked to psychological challenges, behavioral difficulties, and emotional/ cognitive issues. Researchers have revealed that children who have a parent in prison are linked to many negative outcomes unfortunately [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. This highlights the importance of the ripple effect of having an incarcerated parent.…”

This is a qualitative study examining research that has previously investigated the impact the incarceration of parents has on children in the United States of America. The study will explore root causes and causality outcomes for youth behaviors, on a psychological and child development level, by examining data, results and findings from multiple journal articles related to this topic and documenting patterns, commonalities, differences and/or connections that may define why children often develop so many challenging outcomes.The research questions are, (1) why children who have an incarcerated parent are characterized to produce so many negative outcomes, such as emotional, learning and behavioral challenges; what do developmental theories say about this? (2) What will be the best program implementation design to aid effectively in reducing negative outcomes, among youth who have a parent in prison?The data analysis will include statistical reviews from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to help determine whether this issue is significantly prevalent to warrant societal or governmental intervention. The conclusion will include critical areas (on children and caregivers) any program should address, when implementing programs to help the population of youth dealing with having a parent in prison. Children of Promise, NYC, is an organization specifically designed to work with children having parents in prison and will also be evaluated.In addition, the findings and suggestions are beneficial for social service organizations looking for possible strategies and buffers that can support healthy youth development and assist and/or minimize resulting emotional and psychological hurdles.

Trauma exposure and posttraumatic stress disorder in delinquent female adolescents

Abstract: Incarcerated young females in Japan have serious trauma-related problems, and the degree of depression is a strong predictor of PTSD development and symptoms. This study highlights the importance of adequate diagnosis and treatment of PTSD in delinquent female adolescents.
