This chapter argues that, unlike service-based approaches, punishment-only-based approaches do not reduce violent recidivism for young people. Although there is some evidence that Risk-Need-Responsivity principles apply to young people, further research is needed, particularly with girls.

Keywords:   juvenile offenders, juvenile justice intervention, Risk-Need-Responsivity, punishment, recidivism
