Juvenile awareness programs may be ineffective and potentially harmful.
-
Cognitive behavioral therapy can reduce aggression in children and adolescents.
-
Multisystemic therapy reduces recidivism, rearrests, and the number of days youth spend in detention.
-
Intensive supervision of youth on probation does not reduce recidivism.
-
Incarceration-based therapeutic communities for youth with substance use disorders have not been found to reduce recidivism after release.
