“…The public safety framework for working with these cases necessitates the need to recognize the relationship between recidivism and addressing these residual clinical concerns. Treatment of a DSM-5 clinical disorder does not mitigate the public safety risk posed by the JFSB [14,16]. The primacy of public safety means that a juvenile must be stable enough to productively participate and complete an evidenced based intervention program (e.g.…”

“…A family therapist is also ethically expected to manage the ethnoracial factors present in various JFSB cases. That means they have integrated ethical, professional and societal obligations in order to ensure that their work is culturally responsive (i.e., exploring a wide range of ethnoracial, social, cultural, linguistic), strives to be objective, reliable and is at least empirically guided [16,17,44].…”

“…First, an accurate and defensible self-assessment of competencies associated with being culturally responsive [50]. Second, an ability to conceptualize the case from the ethnoracial prism of the family [16,17,80]. Third, familiarity with at least empirically guided approaches that have demonstrated some efficacy with the clinical forensic issues presented in the case [81].…”

“…Few of the traditional theories were originally crafted to address the full range of clinical issues presented by historically underserved ethnoracial groups in the United States [16,73,[86][87][88][89][90]. That is, many of these theories have not been systematically tested in order to create a solid empirical foundation for their application with diverse patients [16,[91][92][93]. In this case, systematically testing cultural utility hypotheses would permit us to evaluate where these theories have ethnoracial strengths and deficiencies.…”

“…Ethnoracial acumen means the service provider takes to the time to learn about the ethnoracial history of the family across generations and the complexities of culture that was shaped by their experiences in the world [16,36,94,95]. It is nearly impossible to escape the fact that ethnoracial factors are embedded organizing principles for family therapy with JFSB.…”

a primary model for the implementation of juvenile fire setting intervention programs conducted through the fire service in the United States. These juvenile fire setting programs are all educational in nature and the academic backgrounds of the individuals implementing them is bachelor level or lower. In this case, minimum academic and practicum requirements often found in mental health trainings are not found in the aforementioned practice guides. More problematic, there is a dearth of relevant research to support the effectiveness (i.e., reducing recidivism) of these educational programs for achieving public safety much less their cultural responsiveness. In addition, a major difference probably needs to be stressed (i.e., ethical informed consent to participants) between the proliferation of JFS programs versus the less than 10 national JFSB clinical forensic services provided by qualified professionals (i.e., minimum a state mental health license) that attempt to address the public safety risk assessment and intervention issues stemming from these cases. In addition, conceptualizing JFSB is further compounded by the fact that there is wide variation in the psychometric properties of various tools used with JFSB, which have clear implications for confidence in the accuracy of the risk assessment relevant information they provide [1,7]. For example, dissertation investigation published in 2000 examined the primary instrument used in the implementation of the FEMA model. This investigation found both the instrument and the theory utilized in the construction of the FEMA model lacking in validity [8]. A third study, conducted in 1997 on a group of children referred to the Portland Fire Department, found less than 42% of the children whose parents

Purpose -This paper aims to present an overview of a variety of risk assessment issues that are of particular relevance for work with juvenile fire setters in clinical and forensic settings. The paper seeks to consider Juvenile Fire Setting (JFS)-Youthful Misuse of Fire (YMF) across a broad array of clinical domains, including developmental, prognostic, and the diagnostic utility anticipated by using the DSM-5. National standards and risk assessment levels are to be examined.Design/methodology/approach -The paper includes a comprehensive review of the research and practices related to juvenile fire setters. This review included assessment and intervention resources that are used in diverse practice environments. The authors reviewed the literature to establish a nexus between risk assessment and community-based interventions which were illustrated by a nationally recognized YMF mental health program (FATJAM).Findings -The paper provides empirically-based insights into key issues for working with these forensic cases. It offers discussion regarding diagnostic issues that are relevant to the DSM-5.Research limitations/implications -Because of the conceptual or theoretical approach used, the research basis for generalizations is restricted to the practice-based analyses provided by the authors. Therefore, practitioners and researchers are urged to further test the observations and conclusions presented.Originality/value -This paper is unique in that it increases the knowledge base related to the diagnostic applications with the DSM-5, as well as evidence-based interventions for JFS as it pertains to public safety.
