Course Description

Photo of teenage male in white t-shirt and black pants on white background; perhaps depicting an adolescent contact offender

One key area of research that can inform treatment and public policy involves juvenile offending and, specifically, adolescent contact offenses. 

We have long known that adolescents who commit crime should not be treated as adults. This study compiles data from long term longitudinal studies to identify risk factors for justice involved youth. 

It also provides rationale for suggestions for changes at all levels to promote best adult outcomes for justice involved youth.

Learning Objectives

Learners will:

  1. Come to understand 6 individual level risk factors for adolescent offending
  2. Understand what psychosocial maturity is and how it relates to offending and recidivism
  3. Come to understand the role substance abuse plays in adolescent offending
