Abstract

Background: Mood and anxiety disorders, and problems with self harm are significant and serious issues that are common in young people in the Criminal Justice System.

Aims: To examine whether interventions relevant to young offenders with mood or anxiety disorders, or problems with self harm are effective.

Method: Systematic review and meta-analysis of data from randomised controlled trials relevant to young offenders experiencing these problems.

Results: An exhaustive search of the worldwide literature (published and unpublished)yielded 10 studies suitable for inclusion in this review. Meta-analysis of data from three

studies (with a total population of 171 individuals) revealed that group-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) may help to reduce symptoms of depression in young

offenders.

Conclusions: These preliminary findings suggest that group-based CBT may be useful for young offenders with such mental health problems, but larger high quality RCTs are

now needed to bolster the evidence-base.
