Self-injurious behaviors in youth detention order in a closed environment
Keywords:
Juvenile offenders, Prison, Judicial Decisions, Self-harm, Therapeutic useAbstract
The incidence of self-injury in teenagers is an issue which is of growing concern, due to its consequences and wide outreach. When analyzing groups of adolescents that show specific signs of vulnerability within a context of isolation, it can be observed how self-harming behaviors are more manifest and adaptable to the situation at hand. In this article we look into a very particular cohort which is rarely researched, with the intend of identifying specific variables within this cohort which helps to predict said behaviors. The result show that self-harming episodes are more numerous than what the international literature shows, and that the actors of such behavior have a background involving drug use, mental handicaps and violent crime.
