Trajectories of Violent Behaviors in the Juvenile Justice System

The literature on patterns of violence in juvenile prisoners is limited. This is the first in a series of books about disruptive behaviors in prison. The author examines both proximal and distal predictors of violent behavior among juveniles in custody in the Romanian juvenile justice system. By examining dynamic risks in adolescence we can intervene with psychosocial professional help in order to change the course of misconduct in this developmental age and provide vital information for designing rehabilitation programs.
