The majority of young people in the American juvenile justice system have diagnosable mental illnesses, but these often remain undetected and untreated. In this book, a team of experts examines epidemiology, screening, diagnosis and treatment. They also cover innovative alternatives to detention; ethical dilemmas; preventive strategies; and integrated cross-disciplinary approaches.
