This course is designed to introduce students to the theory and clinical practices involved with the behavior of the youth population engaged in the juvenile justice system. Gang involvement, youth violence, and substance use among youth populations impact their growth and adversely influence behavior. The laws and the impact of systemic influences will be stressed, as well as the sociocultural aspects of juvenile offenses and the impact on the community. Appropriate treatment models for use in juvenile justice settings will also be reviewed.
