Recent neuropsychological findings shows that there are important developmental differences between juvenile offenders, such as varying levels of maturity, risk potential, and amenability to treatment, not to mention individualized personality traits and possible mental disorders. Psychologists must therefore strive for targeted rehabilitation services to avoid unfair treatment and redirect youth to healthier life choices.\u003cbr\u003e This book provides forensic clinicians with practical strategies for evaluating juvenile offenders and seeking individualized rehabilitation services that will redirect youth to healthier life choices. It highlights five broad areas of juvenile assessment that are essential to any evaluation: veracity in reporting, personality and pathology, risk for dangerous behavior, developmental maturity, and treatment amenability. Readers will also learn how to present assessment data to judges in a thorough and understandable manner while also accounting for local laws and the political climate.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003csection aria-labelledby=\" tab_item- \" class=\" rwdTabWidgetDetail resp-tab-content resp-tab-content-active\" id=\" tab2_details\" style=\" display:block\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegal Contexts and More\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuvenile Characteristics, Political and Social Climate, and Transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForensic Mental Health Concepts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpirical Foundations and Limits of Juvenile Forensic Evaluation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparation for the Evaluation and Forensic Practice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData Collection for Juvenile Evaluations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterpretation for Juvenile Evaluations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReport Writing and Testimony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreatment of Young People in the Juvenile Justice System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion and Future Directions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"American Psychological Association","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52584792293656,"sku":"9781433819346","price":58.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/forensic-evaluation-and-treatment-of-juveniles-innovation-and-best-practices-hardback-9781433819346","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
