Abstract

It has been posited that the juvenile justice system was designed around the needs of boys, who traditionally have constituted the majority juvenile courtinvolved population. As girls have become a larger and better understood minority in this system, however, scholarship has begun to recognize their specific pathways and needs. Chapter 4 focuses on gender and violent offending, emphasizing the most recent empirical evidence on similarities and differences in boys' and girls' violent behavior.
