Abstract
A considerable percentage of juvenile offenders suffer from mental illness and substance use disorders. Undiagnosed mental illness increases the chance that a youth will reoffend. Research has shown that screening for mental health disorders and providing treatment programs for juvenile offenders reduces. Research has also shown that juvenile incarceration rates are negatively related to the utilization of public mental health services. Further investigation is needed, however, to study how linkages to care during and following detention impact recidivism.
