Discuss the idea of maltreatment and other trauma as a risk factor in delinquency and involvement in the juvenile justice system. Why is it difficult to identify and prevent? What are the effects of maltreatment and other traumas on youths? How does it intersect with other risk factors for juvenile justice involvement?
What will be an ideal response?
At a minimum answers should state that maltreatment and other trauma may go
unreported and thus unaddressed by the children’s protective service agencies.
Maltreatment intersects with other risk factors such as poverty and race. Black and non-
Hispanic Indian families are twice as likely to be involved with the CPS system. Of those
children involved in the CPS system, fewer services and rehabilitative programs are
offered to minority families, especially in regard to kincare placements of children. Also,
answers should address the effects of changing schools often. Finally, answers should
address the effects of maltreatment on a youth’s involvement with the juvenile justice
system through educational risk factors and through foster care placements.
