Nearly two-thirds of males and three-quarters of females in the juvenile justice system have at least one psychiatric disorder as opposed to 20 percent of all children. In order to avoid youth involvement with the juvenile justice system, more emphasis needs to be placed on the early detection and intervention. This chapter concentrates on all risk factors that increase the risk for substance abuse, including psychiatric disorders. Clearly, all agencies involved with the juvenile justice system must continue to educate themselves about the mental health issues of these youth, and work to coordinate services and follow-up in order to, hopefully, turn negative risk factors into protective factors. In this way, these adolescents may not continue to move in a direction that leads to a lifelong history of crime and recidivism.
