Conduct Disorder and Offending Behaviour in Young People: Findings from Research: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Conduct Disorder and Offending Behaviour in Young People: Findings from Research" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

`This is the latest in a series of accessible, evidence-based resources from Jessica Kingsley Publishers for those seeking to understand and promote young peoples mental health. Trawling through the evidence, the authors start by looking at the nature and prevalence of conduct disorders including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and how they relate to factors such as depression, substance misuse and learning disabilities. They also look at preventive methods and services available to adolescents in the wake of Ever Child Matters. The book then deals with different approaches to treatment, from individual programmes using cognitive behaviour therapy to family, school-based and pharmacological interventions. It suggests family therapies are the most promising, with little evidence supporting the efficacy of medication.

- Youth Work Now

Offending behaviour in young people is a problem not only for affected neighbours and communities; it is also a serious problem for the young people involved. Behaviour problems and involvement in criminal activities have been linked to continued offending, substance misuse, lack of education and work - all factors that are linked, in turn, with shorter life expectancy.

This book reviews the literature on a number of techniques and treatment approaches designed for use with adolescent conduct disorder and young offenders. The authors also provide an overview of the condition including its developmental pathway; the criteria for diagnosing conduct disorder, and services for adolescents.

Conduct disorder and offending behaviour in young people are complex problems that need multi-agency, multifaceted solutions. This book aims to contribute to the design of services by drawing on a wide range of high-quality research, and presents it for the non-specialist. It is essential reading for child and adolescent mental health practitioners, social workers, youth offending teams and other professionals working with young people with conduct problems and their families.

Preface
How could we stop the referral of a conduct-disordered adolescent being a heart-sink? (Consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist)
Although every young person will present a unique case, conclusions drawn from research of interventions conducted on similar populations may help professionals, who are working with these adolescents, make decisions that will make a real difference to the young people, their families and the communities in which they live.
This book focuses on conduct problems in adolescence. While by no means all young people with conduct disorders are in trouble with the law (or vice versa), there is an overlap with the youth offending population.
Media tends to portray youth offending behaviour as a problem for affected neighbours and communities, but it is also a serious problem for the young people involved. Behaviour problems and involvement in criminal activities have been linked to continuing offending, substance misuse, and lack of education and work, all factors associated with shorter life expectancy. In recent years, the impetus for preventive services in the 03 age group has manifested itself in the UK Childrens Centres (previously Sure Start). This focus on prevention has strong research backing. At the same time, preventive services will not work for every child. This book looks at interventions designed to reduce adolescent problem behaviour.
Children and young people are both victims and perpetrators of crime. In a survey by the Home Office, more than a third of children aged 1015 had experienced at least one personal crime in the last 12 months (Wood 2005). Young people excluded from school, or whose siblings were in trouble with the police, were more likely to be victimised (NACRO 2004). In terms of detected crime, young people are more likely to offend than adults (NACRO 2004). Governmental initiatives to reduce youth offending include Youth Offender Panels, Anti-Social Behaviour Orders and Local Child Curfews. The Respect Action Plan (launched in January 2006) includes the extended application of parenting contracts. A key question related to any initiative is whether it will actually produce change in young people.
