There is growing concern regarding the current treatment of juvenile offenders within the justice system. Most mental health professionals would agree that it is best to adopt a rehabilitative approach toward delinquent youths, but current practices do not always follow this principle. Youth incarceration is a costly and often debilitative process. There is growing evidence for community-based alternatives that aim to rehabilitate juvenile delinquents. Some of these interventions have proved to be successful in the prevention of delinquent acts.
司法系统中对少年犯的当前处理方式日益受到关注。大多数心理健康专业人士会认同，对违法青少年采取改造性方法是最佳选择，但当前的做法并不总是遵循这一原则。青少年监禁是一个成本高昂且往往具有削弱性的过程。越来越多的证据表明，以社区为基础的替代方案旨在改造少年犯。其中一些干预措施已被证明在预防违法行为方面是成功的。
