Over the past several decades, an increasing number of youth have been incarcerated for violent offenses. Existing interventions for serious offenders target the prevention of subsequent delinquent behavior in general, rather than the prevention of violent behavior in particular. Within the context of a randomized clinical trial of 79 adolescent males involved in the juvenile justice syst...... hiện toàn bộ Proactive and Reactive Aggression and Boys' Friendship Quality in Mainstream Classrooms Tập 7 Số 3 - Trang 168-177 - 1999

The relationship between substance use, mental health disorders, and delinquency among youth is well documented. What has received far less attention from researchers is the relationship between these issues among truant youth, in spite of studies that document truants are a population at risk for negative outcomes. This study bridges this gap by (a) examining psychosocial functioning and...... hiện toàn bộ Understanding Gender Differences in Referral of Children to Mental Health Services Tập 4 Số 3 - Trang 182-190 - 1996

A study comparing Jamaican and U.S. teacher reports on children ages 6 to II revealed that Jamaican teachers reported higher problem scores in their pupils than U.S. teachers. Do Jamaican children really have more problems than U.S. child...... hiện toàn bộ
