dc.description.abstractThis review includes literature relative to specialized court processing responses and targeted programs or services developed in response to the identified need to provide specialized and tailored approaches to girls involved in the juvenile justice system. Specifically, this review focuses on 1) trauma-informed approaches in courts, which respond to girls’ experiences of trauma as a precursor to their delinquency (Day, Zahn, and Tichavsky, 2015); 2) a multidisciplinary service approach, which involves a comprehensive response to education, physical and mental health, safety, relationships, and financial security for girls (Sherman and Balck, 2015); 3) gender-responsive programming, which includes the provision of services that address the distinct needs of girls in the justice system (Zahn et al., 2009); and 4) specialized court responses, such as girls’ courts, which aim to provide a therapeutic solution to the specific needs of girls (Lerer, 2013; Sherman and Balck, 2015)en_US
