The psychosocial needs of young offenders and adolescents from an inner city area
Article Abstract:
A quantative study of a sample of 47 male young offenders was performed under the supervision of an inner city 'Youth Offending Team' to see the psychosocial and health problems they experienced. The results suggest that the young offenders reported more psychosocial and health problems at a statistically significant level as well as higher life-time rates of head injury, than adolescents in the community sample.
