Systematic review and meta-analysis of noninstitutional psychosocial interventions to prevent juvenile criminal recidivism.

We discuss the implications of the present findings for social work and child and adolescent psychiatry practices. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved)
