Abstract
The number of incarcerated girls is increasing, but the study of the factors leading girls to engage in delinquency is an area of research which has been neglected. This multinational special issue focuses on incarcerated girls noting that many of them have a history of trauma and abuse, many suffer from anxiety and depression, and few are identified or treated for their mental health needs. Education laws are examined by authors from Brazil, Costa Rica, Mexico, Norway, Saudi Arabia, and the United States, and recommendations are made based on special education provisions within these laws that can be used to identify girls who have disabilities. The intent of this special issue is to provide a vision for early intervention to girls who present maladaptive social behavior or rehabilitation and reentry support to girls with disabilities who are incarcerated to minimize the risk they will return to correctional confinement.
