Excerpt
Excerpt: Serious and violent juvenile (SVJ) offenders, although few in number, are responsible for a disproportionate number of crimes. The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has built a research base to increase understanding of this group of offenders among policymakers, youth service providers, and the public. OJJDP’s Study Group on Serious and Violent Juvenile Offenders expanded on the Comprehensive Strategy for Serious, Violent, and Chronic Juvenile Offenders (Wilson and Howell, 1993). For 2 years, the Study Group of 22 researchers collaboratively analyzed current research on risk factors, protective factors, and the development of SVJ offenders. This Bulletin focuses on one aspect of this work-prevention.
