Juvenile delinquency in the U.S. presents a challenging and often controversial issue. A group that merits particular attention is the disproportionate number of juveniles with disabilities in the juvenile system. Concerns have also been voiced on recidivism rates for this population as well as the adequacy of educational services provided while incarcerated. The issue of educational interventions is particularly important because of the prescriptive nature of federal legislative mandates (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973) regarding the right of these individuals to a free, appropriate public education. Given the disproportionate representation of youth with disabilities in the juvenile system and the inadequacy of services provide during incarceration, further examination of issues associated with this population is warranted. This session provides an overview of the issue of juvenile offenders with disabilities; examines the psychological characteristics of children with disabilities, which are associated with atypical social development and which place these children at higher-than-normal risk for delinquency; discuss influences on delinquency with a particular emphasis on recidivism among juveniles with disabilities; reviews evidence-based interventions involving transition; and highlights recent research studies on disabilities and delinquency.
