Abstract:
Historically, there is a dramatic overrepresentation of males involved in the juvenile legal system as compared with their female counterparts with males representing 71.3% of all criminal offenses committed by juveniles in 2022. Through decades of research, it has become clear that there is no single risk factor that predicts antisocial or delinquent behavior, but rather a perfect storm of risk factors that interacts to contribute to a complex constellation of behaviors. Child and adolescent psychiatrists and other medical and mental health professionals have responsibility of breaking this intergenerational cycle by advocating for system reform.
